What is the air above the earths surface called?
The atmosphere
What is a thin layer of air that protects the earths surface?
the atmosphere
Horizontal movement of air in relation to earths surface?
Answer:Wind
What causes air to be denser near earths surface?
Gravity causes air to be denser near Earth's surface.
What happens to air pressure as the distance from Earths surface increases?
the air pressure increases
Hoe does air circulate around earths surface?
Heat from the sun
Is Air from the thermosphere Warmed by heat from earth surface?
Only partially, by warm winds. Mainly radiation from our Sun gives us heat.
Why is air colder when you go up?
2 reasons - first the earths surface absorbs a lot of the suns heat which helps to keep the air warmer near the surface. Second the higher you go the less dense the air so it has less ability to absorbe heat.
Is the greenhouse effect more pronounced for florists or earths surface?
The greenhouse effect is more pronounced for the earth's surface. Heat rising from the surface is trapped by greenhouse gases. These warm gases heat the air around them as well, also, as the earth' surface again.
What causes air to move with the earths surface?
convection
What is the air above the earths surface called?
The atmosphere
The weight of the air on the earths surface is?
The weight of the air on the earth is called... Air Pressure
Where is the highest air pressure?
air pressure is the highest near the earths surface
What is horizontal movement of air in realtion to the earths surface?
updraught
What is a thin layer of air that protects the earths surface?
the atmosphere
Horizontal movement of air in relation to earths surface?
Answer:Wind
How do convection uplift occurs?
A parcel of air is uplifted when it initially gains heat from the surface causing convective uplift.When the air is warmed by the surface it will expand and become less dense relative to air that surrounds it. - See more at: http://www.chacha.com/question/can-you-briefly-describe-how-convective-uplift-occurs#sthash.JinBHwPh.dpuf
