What else can I help you with?
What do you call the phenomenon wherein there is a marked increase in the earth's surface temperature associated with the radiation being trapped by its atmosphere?
This phenomenon is known as global warming. It occurs when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the gradual increase in the planet's surface temperature.
How does greenhouse gases affect the heat flow in and out of earth's atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere by absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation. This leads to an increase in the overall temperature of the Earth, a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect. As the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere rises, more heat is trapped, causing global temperatures to increase.
Explain the temperature and heat of the earth atmosphere?
The temperature of Earth's atmosphere is a measure of the average kinetic energy of air molecules. Heat in the atmosphere is transferred through processes such as conduction, convection, radiation, and phase changes. The temperature and heat distribution in the atmosphere are influenced by factors like solar radiation, greenhouse gases, and atmospheric circulation patterns.
what substance in the upper atmosphere is important to temperature changes in the upper atmosphere layers?
it is the ozone layer in the atmosphere because it is what keeps the atmosphere in check of what is happening in the atmosphere.
What relationship between insolation and terrestrial radiation causes temperature to rise?
Insolation (incoming solar radiation) heats the Earth's surface, causing it to warm up. The warm surface then emits terrestrial radiation (heat energy) back into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap some of this terrestrial radiation, leading to an increase in temperature, known as the greenhouse effect.
Excess carbon gases released into the atmosphere cause additional radiation to be retained and Earth's average temperature to increase. This phenomenon is known as?
the greenhouse affect
What increases in the atmosphere temperature as a result of long wave radiation being trapped?
Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap long-wave radiation in the atmosphere, causing the temperature to increase. This phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect and is responsible for warming the Earth's surface.
What do you call the phenomenon wherein there is a marked increase in the earth's surface temperature associated with the radiation being trapped by its atmosphere?
This phenomenon is known as global warming. It occurs when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the gradual increase in the planet's surface temperature.
What is a object that gives off electromagnetic waves based on its temperature demonstrates which phenomenon?
An object that gives off electromagnetic waves based on its temperature demonstrates thermal radiation, which is a natural phenomenon where all objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit electromagnetic radiation. This process follows the principles of blackbody radiation, where the object's temperature determines the intensity and spectrum of the emitted radiation.
How are the moon colonists protected from radiation and extreme temperature?
the are by the atmosphere
What determines a temperature of a layer of the atmosphere?
The way the layer interacts with solar radiation.
Why does increasing the amount of a greenhouse gas increase the temperature of a planet?
Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide trap heat in the atmosphere by absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation. When their concentrations increase, more heat is trapped, leading to a rise in temperature on the planet. This phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect.
What is the phenomenon in which carbon dioxide and other gases trap solar radiation in the atmosphere?
The phenomenon is called the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trap heat in Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.
Why is radiation a way energy transfers in the atmosphere?
Radiation is a way energy transfers in the atmosphere because the sun radiates energy in the form of electromagnetic waves (solar radiation). This energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface and then re-radiated back into the atmosphere (terrestrial radiation), contributing to temperature changes and driving weather patterns.
The ozone layer causes a temperature increase in the?
stratosphere. This temperature increase is due to the absorption of UV radiation by ozone molecules, leading to a warming effect in the upper atmosphere.
Does the release of tiny particles in the atmosphere reflect solar radiation?
Yes, there is usually a slight slowing in global warming after a major volcanic eruption, as the additional particles in the atmosphere reflect some of the sun's heat before it reaches the earth. This is known as the albedo effect, a reflecting. The same thing happens with the white shiny ice of the polar regions, Greenland and glaciers.
What layer of the atmosphere traps infrared heat radiation?
The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere that traps infrared heat radiation. It is responsible for the greenhouse effect, which helps regulate Earth's temperature by trapping heat.
