Explain why the temperature of the atmosphere does not increase or decrease steadily as you move from earth's surface toward space.?
The temperature in the Earth's atmosphere does not increase or decrease steadily as you move from the surface towards space because it is influenced by various factors such as solar radiation, atmospheric composition, and the Earth's surface features. These factors create complex interactions that lead to temperature variations at different altitudes, resulting in the atmosphere having distinct layers with different temperature profiles.
Why doesn't the temperature in the atmosphere steadily increase or decrease as you move from earth's surface toward space?
The temperature in the atmosphere doesn't steadily increase or decrease as you move away from Earth's surface towards space because at the point where the atmospheric layers intersect, the temperature remains constant, just like when water changes state.
When carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the amount of energy absorbed by Earth’s surface should?
increase, causing the planet to warm due to the greenhouse effect.
When you crush a solid do you increase or decrease surface area?
You increase the surface area
Does the surface energy increase or decrease with increase in planar density?
The surface energy decreases with an increase in planar density. This is because a higher planar density means more atoms are closely packed together, leading to a decrease in the number of surface atoms and therefore a decrease in surface energy.
Why does the temperature of the atmosphere not increase or decrease steadily as you move from Earth's surface toward space?
The upper layers of the atmosphere are heated from above, while the lower layers are heated from below, because infrared radiation is given off by the Earth's surface in response to solar heating. The lower troposphere (with its denser molecules and water vapor) receives heat from both re-radiation and convection. The result is that while the atmosphere always gets thinner with altitude, the temperature decreases with altitude in the troposphere, then increases with altitude in the stratosphere. The very high temperatures in the thermosphere are moot because of the low specific heat (energy capacity) of the tenuous gases there.
Does crushing a solute increase or decrease its total surface area?
Increase...by alot.
What happens to the surface temperature of a planet if you decrease its orbital radius?
If you decrease a planet's orbital radius, its surface temperature will increase.
What is surface area and how you can decrease or increase surface area?
Surface area refers to the total area that covers the surface of an object or structure. To decrease surface area, you can reduce the dimensions of the object or change its shape to be more compact. To increase surface area, you can add extensions, rough textures, or indentations to the object's surface.
If ozone layer is destroyed on earth surfaces earth surface temperature decrease or increase?
it will increase (get hotter).
Does pressure and temperature increase or decrease with depth below earths surface?
it increases
Why evaporation happens at the surface?
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation. The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase and some molecules at the surface can escape in the atmosphere.
