In which layer of the earth's atmosphere is most water vapor located?
The Troposphere
What does the troposphere contain?
The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere, extending about 8-15 kilometers above the Earth's surface. It primarily contains air and is where weather phenomena occur. The troposphere also contains various gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and trace amounts of other gases.
Which atmospheric layer has the greatest air pressure?
It's the troposphere because :The troposphere contains 75 per cent of the atmosphere's gas. It also holds huge amounts of dust and water vapor, and is often dense with clouds and mist. Air pressure is greatest in the troposphere, because gravity pulls the atmosphere towards the Earth, squeezing most of its weight into this lowest layer.
In which layer of the atmosphere does most of Earth's weather occur?
Ultimately, major driving forces of weather on earth are uneven heating of the surface and moisture. The vast majority of the moisture in Earth's atmosphere is in the troposphere. The amounts in other layers are generally inconsequential. The troposphere is also the only layer that interacts directly with Earth's surface and is impacted by surface temperature, moisture content and the terrain. The other layers do not encounter such varied environments and so are realtively uniform compared to the troposphere.
Are limestone rocks least susceptible to weathering?
No! Limestone is composed of significant amounts of calcite (calcium carbonate - CaCO3) which is soluble and so is relatively easy to weather.
Is radium located in the atmosphere hydrosphere or lithosphere?
Radium is a highly radioactive alkali earth metal, and it can be found in trace amounts in some water sources and in some soil or rock samples. That means this stuff isn't found in the atmosphere. (It may be in some dust, but not likely.) But it will be found in some places in the lithosphere (the ground or the earth) or the hydrosphere (the water). Radium is associated with the radioactive decay of uranium, so where traces or deposits of uranium ore are found, this stuff will be around. A link to the Wikipedia article on radium is provided.
In which layer of the earth's atmosphere is most water vapor located?
The Troposphere
Is sulfur toxic to humans?
It can be harmful in large amounts, but is relatively safe in low amounts.
Why is ozone harmful in troposphere?
There is normally no life that breathes in the stratosphere. In the troposphere, both plants and animals suffer when significant amounts of ozone are present.
What is the atmospheric layer containing measurable amounts of water?
The atmospheric layer containing water is troposphere. It contains water vapor.
What enzymes are always present in a cell at relatively constant amounts?
constitutive
Elements that are required in relatively large amounts by microorganisms are called?
Macronutrients
What contain's C H and O but have relatively small amounts of oxygen?
Glycerol
What does NOT describe a nuclear reaction?
Relatively small amounts of energy are released or absorbed.
What does the troposphere contain?
The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere, extending about 8-15 kilometers above the Earth's surface. It primarily contains air and is where weather phenomena occur. The troposphere also contains various gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and trace amounts of other gases.
Is the hydrosphere a source of the Chemical resource man uses?
Yes it is. The hydrosphere(mostly ocean water) is made up of H2O and other chemicals such as NaCl(salt), and smaller amounts of Mg, S, Ca, and other elements as ions. (Magnesium, Sulfur, Calcium etc.)
