Ultraviolet radiation is blocked by the ozone layer in the lower stratosphere. It blocks 97â??99% of the Sun's UV rays, preventing them from damaging life on the surface of the planet.

Where does most of the energy in earths atmospheres and oceans and living systems come from?
The sun... study island cheaters...
Which form of electromagnetic energy is radiated from the earths surface with the greatest intensity?
infared
Another name for heat radiation?
INFRARED RADIATION is also referred to as Heat Radiation.
What three processes transfer heat over earths surface?
Convection, radiation, and conduction
What are the five sources of background radiation?
earths crust, radon gas, cosmic rays, natural sources e.g food, water and rocks.
What is infrared radiation-?
Infrared radiation is when earths surface radiates some of earths surface back into the atmosphereinfrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which involves waves rather than particles. This means that unlike conduction and convection radiation can even pass through the vacuum of space.infrared radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation which is emitted in the form of heat. infrared radiation is invisible
What are the three parts that make up Earths mantle?
mesosphere, asthenosphere, ionosphere
What two things can happen to electromagnetic energy that enters the earths atmosphere?
more radiation ; bad living conditions for the people of earth
Where does most of the energy in earths atmospheres and oceans and living systems come from?
The sun... study island cheaters...
What and where are the ionosphere and exosphere?
The layer of the atmosphere that contains the ionosphere and exosphere is called the thermosphere. The exosphere is at the top and the ionosphere is at the bottom.
Where is earths moon located?
earths moon is located basicly on the earths gravitational pull called the ionosphere which is the highest magnetic field of earth
How long does earths magnetic flip take?
An electromagnetic wave is a form of radiation consisting of waves of energy associated with electric and magnetic fields resulting from the acceleration of an electric charge. An electromagnetic wave travels like any other form of radiation or light, except for the fact that an electromagnetic wave moves perpendicular to an electric field and a magnetic field.
What is the ionosphere and were is it?
The ionosphere is a layer of earths atmosphere. It is charged with a high concentration of ions. It is above the mesosphere about 50 t0 600 miles above the earth.
What is the outer layer of the earths atmosphere?
Ionosphere is the outermost layer. It contains charged ions.
What are the seven layers of earths atmosphere?
The thermosphere exosphere ionosphere mesosphere stratosphere tropopause and the trophosphere
What are the earths four atmosphere layers called?
Troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere (containing ionosphere), exosphere.
What are three parts that make up earths mantle?
The three parts that make up the Earths mantle are the crust, core, and mantle.
