What is the engine that drives atmospheric circulation?
The engine that drives atmospheric circulation is the sun - which provides the energy for the circulation.
What atmospheric elements block some of the solar energy from the sun?
All of the atmospheric elements block some of the solar energy from the Sun. Oxygen and nitrogen take out most of the UV-C and more energetic wavelengths. Only ozone takes out UV-B, and a narrow bandwidth of blue. Water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ozone take out much infrared and microwaves.
What is lighting in the nitrogen cycle?
Yes it can. Basically, N2 is found in the air. Nitrogen fixation occurs when atmospheric N2 is converted to NH3. Not sure of the exact mechanism but I am just guessing that it uses H2 in the air, adding a ton of energy to them and breaking the bond, releasing free radical H+ that then attaches itself to the atmospheric N2... something like that.
Does the nitrogen in lightning turn grass green?
Yes. Lightning provides the intense energy needed to combine atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen into nitrates. The rain then carries these nitrates down to the earth's surface enriching the soil. Acting as a fertilizer, nitrates in an indirect way helps make the grass green.
What effect does liquid nitrogen have on molecular kinetic energy?
Temperature is a measure of kinetic energy. Because liquid nitrogen is very cold, a system's kinetic energy will be collisionally transferred to the added liquid nitrogen. Thus, in general, adding liquid nitrogen will decrease a system's kinetic energy. (There are some exceptions where the system has less kinetic energy than the liquid nitrogen, such as liquid helium.)
Which organism in a food chain can transform light energy into chemical bond energy?
Spider
What is atmospheric fixation?
Atmospheric Fixation:the enormous energy of lightning breaks nitrogen molecules and enables their atoms to combine with oxygen in the air forming nitrogen oxides. These dissolve in rain, forming nitrates, that are carried to the earth. Atmospheric nitrogen fixation probably contributes some 5– 8% of the total nitrogen fixed.
What atmospheric factors interact to cause weather?
heat energy,moisture,oxygen,&nitrogen
How do engines lose energy?
Engines lose energy via friction, thermal losses, and a reaction between the atmospheric nitrogen sapping energy in the combustion reaction
What element is found in all nutrients that provide energy to an organism Sulfur Nitrogen Carbon or Phosphorus?
I beleive its CARBON.
Does most nitrogen fixation use the energy released by lighting?
Nitrogen fixation is the conversion of atmospheric Nitrogen gas (N2) into Ammonia, and Nitrates that can be used by plants.Much of the nitrogen fixation is done by a symbiotic relationship between nitrogen fixing bacteria and various plants.Thus, the bacteria are not directly doing photosynthesis. The plants do the photosynthesis, and the bacteria are able to get the secondary energy from the plants and plant material.
What energy do plants transform into chemical energy?
Plants transform light energy into chemical energy during photosynthesis.
What is nitrogen fixation and why are bacteria crucial to this cycle of life?
The air is about 80% nitrogen- but cannot be used by plants for food. Nitrogen fixing bacteria transform nitrogen in the air to nitrogen in the soil that plants CAN use- resulting in greatly improved plant growth, and more fertile soil.
How do energy transform energy?
photosynthesis
What energy transform in windmills?
Mechanical energy
What transform energy from one to another?
a transducer is a device used to transform energy and by the way this is physics not chemistry
How energy moves from one organism to another?
How is energy moved from one organism to another? A.when one organism chases another organism, energy is movedB.when one organism is close by another organism, energy is movedC.when one organism touches another organism, energy is movedD.when one organism eats another organism, energy is moved
