What term specifically describes the process wherein the sun's radiation becomes trapped in the earth's atmosphere?
greenhouse effect Visible light come in, is absorbed by the earth's surface and reemitted as IR, the IR cannot escape the atmosphere to space so heat builds up in the atmosphere.
Why do satellites burn up when it hits the atmosphere?
Because before they hit the atmosphere they are travelling at extremely high speeds without any resistance (from wind). Therefore when they enter the atmosphere the wind resistance builds up and creates friction which also brings lots of heat, causing them to burn up before they hit the ground. This doesn't just happen to satellites; most if not all objects travelling from space into Earth encounter this. The only exception would be space shuttles because they have been specially designed with heat resistant panels etc.
Are clouds located in the sky?
You bet. Condensation builds up from precipitation to form these clouds.
How does white dwarfs become a novae?
White dwarfs become novae when they accrete matter from a companion star's outer layers. This matter builds up on the surface of the white dwarf until a critical temperature and pressure is reached, triggering a runaway nuclear fusion reaction. This explosion releases a vast amount of energy and causes the white dwarf to temporarily brighten significantly.
A solar mass star will evolve off the main sequence when?
A solar mass star will evolve off the main sequence when it exhausts its core hydrogen fuel and transitions to burning helium in its core. This change in nuclear fusion process causes the star to expand and become a red giant as it moves towards the later stages of its evolution.

What is the geology term constructive process?
a process in which a force builds up landmasses on the surface of the Earth
Can you describe the process that wears down and builds up the earths surface?
weathering, erosion, deposition, and uplift
Magma reaches the earths surface as a result of the process called?
Magma reaches the Earth's surface through a process called volcanic eruption. This occurs when pressure builds up underground and forces the magma to flow and eventually break through the Earth's surface. Once the magma reaches the surface, it is then called lava.
What is earths atmosphere mostly heated by?
UV rays from the sun mostly. The stars are too far away to give off any heat, and though the moon bounces some light to us it doesn't give off any heat. The phenomenon called the green house effect is when UV rays from the sun enter our atmosphere and the heat is trapped by the ozone layer and other particles in our atmosphere. This effect compounds the hot air creating a sustainable environment for life. The problem is that as pollutants increase more and more heat builds up and the land born ice begins to melt. Extra fresh water in the ocean could through a lot of weather patterns out of balance
What happens when carbon dioxide builds up in the atmosphere?
nothing will happen at all
What role has moving water played in Earth's surface?
By weathering rock and carrying it away to different places. That process is called erosion. Then it deposits the sediments and builds, which is called deposition.
Is a volcano created when trapped gases blast through the earth's surface?
Volcanoes occur where there are magma chambers in the Earth's mantle. These are usually by convergent plate boundaries where one plate is forced under another. The pressure builds and the rock melts into magma. The hot liquid rock then forces its way to the surface and forms a volcano.
What happen when extra carbon dioxide builds up in the atmosphere?
nothing will happen at all
What is a force that builds up features of earth's surface?
Constructive Force
What is the force that builds up features of earths surface?
Constructive Force
if enough water pressures builds under the surface of the ground can burst through cracks in the surface, forming a?
Geyser
