The primary gases volcanoes belch forth more than any other (besides steam-water vapor) continues to be sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide. To a lesser extent nitrogen, argon, helium, methane, carbon monoxide, and other more exotic molecules are also vented.

What type of surface will reflect the greatest amount of insolation?

A light-colored, smooth, and flat surface, such as snow, ice, or sand, will reflect the greatest amount of insolation due to higher albedo values. This means more of the incoming solar radiation will be reflected back into the atmosphere rather than absorbed by the surface.


Where would the air pressure be the greatest on top of a mountain or above Earth's atmosphere?

Air pressure is greatest at lower altitudes, such as at sea level, because there is more air above pushing down due to gravity. On top of a mountain, the air pressure is lower due to the reduced amount of air above. Similarly, above Earth's atmosphere, air pressure decreases significantly as altitude increases. Therefore, air pressure would be greatest at sea level, not on top of a mountain or above the atmosphere.


What is the approximate amount of nitrogen in the atmosphere?

composition of dry atmosphere by volume..... 78.09% nitrogen


Is the amount of water in earth's atmosphere and on earth always the same?

Yes - the Earth has a finite amount of water on it. This water cycles between the oceans and the atmosphere.


How does the atmosphere form?

The atmosphere forms through processes such as outgassing from volcanoes and the gradual accumulation of gases released from the Earth's interior. The early Earth's atmosphere was mainly composed of carbon dioxide and water vapor, with oxygen increasing over time due to photosynthetic organisms. The atmosphere continues to evolve through interactions with Earth's surface, living organisms, and external influences like solar radiation.

Is it true the greatest amount of gas in the air is oxygen?

No. If we look at the composition of gases in the atmosphere, the greatest amount of gas is nitrogen- 78%. Oxygen is 21% in the atmosphere. remaining 1% is carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide etc.


What layer of the atmosphere has the greatest amount of water vapor?

The layer of the atmosphere with the greatest amount of water vapor is the troposphere. This is the lowest layer of the atmosphere and is where most weather events occur. Water vapor plays a crucial role in cloud formation, precipitation, and other atmospheric processes in the troposphere.


Where can a large amount of nitrogen be found on the planet?

The greatest concentration of nitrogen on the Earth is found in its atmosphere. The atmosphere is approximately 78 percent nitrogen.


What greatest factors in the atmosphere seem to have the greatest effect on the amount of radiation received from the sun?

The ozone layer has the greatest effect on the amount of ultraviolet radiation received at the earth's surface from the Sun. Cloud formation and atmospheric thickness, in combination with solar angle, have the greatest effect on the amount of visible and infrared radiation received at the earth's surface from the sun

Is the greatest amount of gas in the air oxygen?

No it isn't. It is Nitrogen, which makes up 70% of the air we breathe.


How many volcanoes can erupt at once?

An unlimited amount of volcanoes can erupt at once


What do you think will happen to the amount of volcanoes and what impact will it have on farming?

The amount of volcanoes will tend to increase, which will impact farming in a negative way by decreasing the amount of available farmland.
