What else can I help you with?
What causes air to be denser near earths surface?
Air near Earth's surface is denser due to the weight of the air above it pressing down, creating higher pressure. Additionally, higher temperatures near the surface cause air molecules to move more rapidly, spreading out less and increasing air density.
What type of rock can only form on or near earths surface?
Sedimentary rocks are the type of rocks that can only form on or very near Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks form from weathering processes that occur on Earth's surface.
What drives convection within earths atmosphere?
Convection within Earth's atmosphere is primarily driven by the unequal heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. As air near the surface is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, creating an upward flow. As the heated air rises, it cools, becomes denser, and eventually sinks back towards the surface, completing the convection cycle that helps drive weather patterns.
Is air denser near Earth's surface than high in the atmosphere?
Yes air is denser near the earth's surface than high in the atmosphere. The farther up air rises, there are less molecules of air between the outer edges of the atmosphere. This means there is a lot less air weighing down. A general rule of thumb is the higher the altitude, the lower the pressure: the lower the altitude, the higher the pressure.
Do cirrus clouds form near or far from earths surface?
Cirrus clouds form far above the Earth's surface, typically at altitudes above 20,000 feet. They are thin and wispy in appearance and are composed of ice crystals.
What causes air to be denser near earths surface?
Air near Earth's surface is denser due to the weight of the air above it pressing down, creating higher pressure. Additionally, higher temperatures near the surface cause air molecules to move more rapidly, spreading out less and increasing air density.
How are ores near earths surfaces removed?
ores near earth's surface are removed by underground mining as long as they don't cause the mine to collapse as they drill.
Igneous rocks formed on or near Earth's surface?
extrusive because it forms on or near earths surface
What igneous rocks formed or on or near earths surface?
Volcanoes.
The atmospheric pressure near the earths surface does what?
It decreases as you move away from the earth surface
The primary cause of a radiation inversion is?
The primary cause of a radiation inversion is when the Earth's surface loses heat rapidly at night, causing the air near the surface to cool and become denser. This denser air forms a layer close to the ground, trapping cooler air below and warmer air above, resulting in an inversion layer.
What is the curved path an object takes when projected near earths surface?
It is the Trajectory.
Why is life on Earth confined to such a narrow layer near the Earths surface?
They are condense.
Where is the highest air pressure?
air pressure is the highest near the earths surface
What is the point on the earths surface where an earthquake shaking is the strongest is?
Near plate boundaries.
What is the gravitational force on any object near the earths surface?
Force (newtons) = mass (kg) * acceleration (m/s/s) > Acceleration at earths surface radius = 9.82 m/s/s
Is air pressure greater near the earths surface or at higher altitudes?
I am sure that if you think about the problems encountered by climbers on Mount Everest you might be able to answer that yourself. Near the Earth's surface.
