Why is Earth called the '' Blue Planet ''?
That's because it looks mainly blue, from space. With the clouds it looks like a blue marble.The Earth is called the "blue planet" because the surface is composed mostly of water. Over 70 % of the Earth's surface is water.Water looks blue from space mainly because it reflects the blue atmosphere.However, the full explanation is quite complicated.(A clear sky in daylight looks blue from the Earth's surface, because of the way white light is scattered by the air molecules.)
In fine art what is meant by surface characteristics?
"Surface characteristics" merely describe the way a surface of a how the surface of a painting or sculpture looks or actually feels--rough, smooth, etc.
In what ways do glaciers change earth's surface?
They smooth earths surface
What does surface mean in art?
The surface is the ground upon which the medium is applied. If you are painting with oils, you are likely using stretched canvas or masonite board as a surface. If you are drawing in pastels, your surface may be Canson paper.
What is the force on a surface divided by the area of that surface?
The force that is exerted on a surface divided by the area of the area is pressure. The standard unit of pressure is the Pascal.
Why salt is scattered on frozen surface?
Salt is scattered on a frozen surface to melt the ice.
Why salt scattered on frozen surface?
Salt is scattered on a frozen surface to melt the ice.
Why salt is scattered on a frozen surface or iced surface of a skating rink?
They are scattered on the iced surface to stop the ice from melting and slow down the melting.
What is a word meaning scattered widely?
Strewn means scattered untidily across a surface or area.
Visible and shortwave radiation heat Earth?
Yes it is. Visible light or Shortwave are radiation and it contain energy, when these radiation hit earth surface some fraction of radiation is absorb and transform from radiation energy to thermal energy.
Why salt is scattered on ice surface?
They are scattered on the ice surface to stop the ice from melting and slows down the melting process
What is radiant energy reflected back by a surface called?
Albedo
The Earth's surface absorbs more radiant energy from the sun than the atmosphere?
yes the earths surface absorbs more radiant energy from the sun than the atmosphere GOOD LUCK :)
What occrs when light reflcted from a rough or unpolshed surface?
It gets scattered.
Are the locations of earthquake scattered randomly over the surface of the earth or are they concentrated in definite areas?
scattered randomly because it depends on the tchtonic plates
How can the Rz value measure high even if the surface finish is good?
Because, there are two types of RZ value- shortwave & longwave. A High Longwave RZ value will be less smooth than a high shortwave RZ value, because in shortwave, even though the RZ value is high, the undulations are very close together, and so will appear smooth when measured over a long or short area. A High RZ longwave surface appears less smooth, as the undulations occur over a longer area, and so will have more effect with relation to how smooth the surface is. RZ measures only the height of the surface descrepancy at any given point, its not concerned with the frequency of that descrepancy over any distance of the surface-this is how RZ value can be high, but surface finish appears smooth- Its a High RZ, short wavelength surface.

What materials reflect radiant energy?
The heating of a solid body, which absorbs radiant energy, was studied. With sufficient radiantenergy flow, the surface of the body can achieve such a high temperature that the physiochemical conversions of the material are unavoidable. Emphasis was placed upon the one-dimensional problem of the evaporation of the solid body, heated from the incident radiant energy. It is assumed that the flow of radiant energy is absorbed on the surface of the body and is equivalent to the thermal flow q on the boundary whose value depends on time t and on the surface temperature. There are two cases of surface evaporation examined: body evaporation and evaporation into the medium filled far from the body.
