What else can I help you with?
Which thing can not be dry in sun light?
The ocean
Why is the sky light blue in the day time?
It is the reflection of the sunlight off the ocean water on earth.
What kind of energy does the moon have?
The moon primarily possesses gravitational potential energy due to its mass and its position in relation to Earth. This gravitational energy influences ocean tides and affects various natural phenomena on Earth. Additionally, the moon receives solar energy, which is reflected as light, contributing to its appearance in the night sky. However, the moon does not produce energy like a planet or star.
What happens when the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface?
Radiant energy will either be reflected or absorbed by a surface. The usual rule regarding this reflection depends on the color of the object and the color of the light. For example, a red object only reflects red light, and absorbs the rest. A blue object only reflects blue light, and absorbs the rest. This goes for all of the colors. When radiant energy is absorbed, the object will heat up. Hope this helps!
What percentage of solar radiation does the ocean absorb?
The ocean absorbs approximately 70% of the solar radiation that reaches its surface. This absorption plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate by storing heat and influencing weather patterns. The remaining solar radiation is either reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and ice surfaces.
What is the wavelenght of light reflected most from ocean water?
Whatever the color of the substance is, that's the light wave that is reflected most. So the ocean would mostly be green and blue. However black means no light is reflected, so the darker the less reflected.
Where will you find glaciers?
You will find glaciers in the Arctic Ocean.
What are 3 types of waves that can be reflected?
Light waves: when light hits a smooth surface, it can be reflected. Sound waves: sound can bounce off hard surfaces such as walls, resulting in reflection. Water waves: waves in the ocean or a pond can be reflected off a barrier or shore.
Where do glaciers go after they move?
ocean
Which of these is an agent of erosion glaciers gravity ocean waves glaciers wind or all of these?
All
Can melting glaciers increase ocean acidity?
No. Melting glaciers add clean fresh water to the oceans, so their melting decreases ocean acidity.
What percent of light energy is converted to chemical energy in the ocean?
Approximately 1% of light energy is converted to chemical energy in the ocean through photosynthesis by marine plants and algae. The rest of the light energy is reflected, refracted, or absorbed by the water.
How can ocean get bigger?
An ocean can become bigger when glaciers start melting (Global Warming does this)
Would you sense reflected or emitted electromagnetic radiation when measuring the temperature of the ocean's surface?
If you were to measure reflected radiation then you would be measuring the temperature of the source of light (the sun)! So you need to look at the emmited radiation (measured during the night) to guage the temperature of the ocean's surface.
Why does a red fish look black in the ocean greater than water depth of 10 meters?
Has to do with reflected light, its wavelength, and how water effects it. Red light cannot travel as deep in water as green or blue. Therefor, when a red fish goes deeper the needed RED LIGHT cannot reach it and will not be reflected off the fish. SO! It looks black because it is REFLECTING no color. Thats what color is... reflected light.
Did glacier movement form the Great Lakes or the Atlantic Ocean?
The Great Lakers were ultimately formed by glaciers. The Atlantic Ocean was not. It was formed by continental rifting. Glaciers could not form a whole new ocean basin like that.
Why is ocean blue coloured in a map?
The ocean is blue due to the way that light enters the atmosphere. The spectrum (Rainbow effect) refracts the light and the light is blue this light is reflected of the ocean to make it look blue. this mixed with the depth enables the sea to look blue.
