What is helpful about Plateaus?
Type your answer here... a plateau is ground that is higher than the ground sourounding it.
Why does atmosphere exist on earth?
Gravity ! The gravitational pull of the Earth 'traps' the atmosphere close to the ground.
Why is Earth's atmosphere mainly heated from the ground up?
Solar radiation mostly passes through the atmosphere without heating it, due to its wavelength. It does not pass through the ground, however, and it heats the ground. The ground emits radiation at a wavelength dependent on its temperature. This radiation happens to be in the thermal infrared part of the spectrum, or in other words, sensible heat. Therefore, the atmosphere is heated by the surface, whereupon the heat tends to rise and heat the lower atmosphere.
What layer of the atmosphere is Ground level ozone?
Troposphere contains ground ozone. It is also called bad ozone.
Light from the rising and setting sun is bent by the atmosphere The bending is toward the ground If there were no atmosphere would you have more or less daylight hours?
Without atmosphere, the period of daylight would be shorter, for a few reasons.Concerning the refraction of light by the atmosphere as described in the question, it has the effect ofcausing the sun to appear HIGHER than it actually is. The sun becomes visible before it actually rises,and remains visible after it has set. This lengthens the daily period of time during which the sun appearsabove the horizon.
What is a greenhouse gas that is helpful high in the atmosphere but is pollutant on the ground?
Ozone, which blocks ultraviolet A and B high in the atmosphere, but is toxic to animal life when close to the ground.
What happens to hazardous materials when poured on the ground?
A hazardous material poured on the ground could soak into the ground, evaporate into the air, run off into ground water, or catch fire.
Is ozone a dangerous gas at the surface but helpful in the upper part of the atmosphere?
Yes, ozone at the ground level is a pollutant while ozone in the atmosphere protects us from the harmful radiations of the sun.
How many meters is it from the ground to the atmosphere?
The atmosphere begins at the ground. The distance between them is exactly zero.
How far is the atmosphere from earth?
The atmosphere is from the area just above the ground to 1200 miles above ground
Are signatures required when receiving hazardous material by ground or air transport?
no
What Forms when a meteoroid enters earths atmosphere?
Meteoroids don't enter the earths atmosphere, Meteors do. Meteoroids are the rocks that you find on the ground after a meteor penetrated the atmosphere and made it to the ground.
Weather takes place in which part of the atmosphere?
In the atmosphere or, when talking about fog, on the ground.
What heats the lower atmosphere?
The lower atmosphere is heated by the ground, which is heated by sunlight.
Why Does atmospheric pressure decreased as you climb a mountain?
The atmosphere is full of layers and when you are at ground level, you have a maximum amount of air above you, but when you climb the mountain, the amount of air decreases and thus the pressure Hope that was helpful!
What atmosphere is 400km above ground?
troposphere
With respect to the eighteenth century the concept of the middle ground is helpful in?
The concept of the middle ground is helpful in understanding the attitudes of Indians living between the Appalachians and the Mississippi.
