What atmospheric layer is closest to Earth's crust?
The atmospheric layer closest to Earth's crust is the troposphere. It extends from the surface of the Earth up to about 8 to 15 kilometers (5 to 9 miles) in altitude, depending on latitude and weather conditions. This layer is where most of the Earth's weather occurs and contains approximately 75% of the atmosphere's mass.
How long will the ozone layer last?
The magic 8 ball says: "My sources say No." No one knows where that particular "feature" is going. The record largest ozone hole was 2007, and the ozone hole for 2008 was not much smaller. The amount of UV-B that arrives at Earth's surface varies by year, and by 11 year solar cycle. Effects that are believed to be closely tied to the amount of UV-B that arrives on Earth's surface show a long-term upward trend. Plants absorb water vapor, and produce oxygen. What we do to plants, we do to the ozone layer (as much as we do anything to the ozone layer).
Can Google Earth be downloaded on Windows 8?
Google Earth can be downloaded on Windows 8 but more important question is whether it will run on Window 8. In most situations Google Earth will run on Windows 8 but there are some reports of users with problems running on Windows 8 so best to try to install GE and see if it works correctly or not. Note that Google has not officially listed Windows 8 as a supported platform for running Google Earth. If the normal download page fails to download Google Earth then try the direct download page (found in the related links below). Also at present Google Earth is a 32-bit application so it doesn't take advantage of the all the computers memory. 32-bit apps are limited to 2 GB of memory. A future release of Google Earth v7 will most likely be more stable on Window 8 at which time Google will officially announce Windows 8 is supported
What is the standard width of an apartment wall?
The standard thickness of a typical interior sheetrocked wall is 4 1/2" and 4 3/4" thick. Most apartments are built with a sheet of 1/2" or 5/8" GWB on each side of a 2x4 which is actually 3 1/2" wide.
What 2 minerals make up most of the Earth's crust?
Even though there are 92 elements that are naturally found, only eight of them are common in the rocks that make up the Earth's outer layer, the crust. Together, these 8 elements make up more than 98% of the crust. The 8 most common elements in Earth's crust (by mass): 46.6% Oxygen (O) 27.7% Silicon (Si) 8.1% Aluminum (Al) 5.0% Iron (Fe) 3.6% Calcium (Ca) 2.8% Sodium (Na) 2.6% Potassium (K) 2.1% Magnesium
How thick is the upper mantle in the earth Please answer soon I need this for a project that is due on Monday December 8 2008?
This layer is about 163 miles thick below the earth.
How thick is the anthesphere?
The thickness of the Earth's anthesphere, or innermost layer of the atmosphere, ranges from approximately 8 to 16 kilometers (5 to 10 miles) thick. It is where weather events occur and it is characterized by a decrease in temperature with increasing altitude.
What is the thick outer layer of plant cell called?
The thick outer layer of a plant cell is called the cell wall... 8) A.I
What layer of the earth has the most aluminum?
Virtually all of earths aluminum ore is in the top layer of the earth, the crust.
Where is about 90 percent of earth's atmosphere found?
The troposphere, the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, contains about 90% of the Earth's atmosphere. This layer extends from the Earth's surface to about 8-15 kilometers above sea level.
What is the length of the ozone layer?
The ozone layer is located about 10 to 30 kilometers (6 to 19 miles) above the Earth's surface. The thickness of the ozone layer can vary due to factors like time of day and location, but on average it is around 3 millimeters thick.
Which layer of the atmosphere averages 8 miles above the earths surface?
The stratosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that averages about 8 miles above the Earth's surface. This layer contains the ozone layer, which helps to absorb and block harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
What is the lowermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere?
The lowermost layer of Earth's atmosphere is the troposphere. It is where most of the Earth's weather occurs, and its height can vary from 5 to 9 miles (8 to 14.5 kilometers) above the Earth's surface.
What is the closest layer to the earth?
The layer closest to the Earth's surface is the troposphere. This is where weather phenomena and air movements occur, and it extends up to about 8-15 kilometers above the Earth's surface, varying in height depending on the location and weather conditions.
Where does most of earth's air locate?
The majority of Earth's air is found in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere extending about 8 to 15 kilometers above the Earth's surface. About 75% of the total mass of the atmosphere is located in this layer.
What does trososhere mean?
It appears there may be a typo in your question. Did you mean "troposphere"? The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere and is where most weather occurs. It is approximately 8 to 15 kilometers (5 to 9 miles) thick and contains the majority of the atmosphere's mass.
What is the name of the lowest layer of the earth's atmosphereThis is the layer in which weather occurs?
The lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere, where weather occurs, is called the troposphere. It extends from the Earth's surface up to an average altitude of about 8 to 15 kilometers, varying with latitude and season.
