What is it called when heat energy gets trapped in earths atmosphere?
That phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect, where gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, leading to an increase in temperatures on the planet.
Explain two ways that earths atmosphere gets heated?
by convection and conduction
How does nitrogen get in the earths atmosphere?
Nitrogen is present in the Earth's atmosphere primarily as a result of volcanic eruptions and geologic activities releasing nitrogen from rocks. Additionally, nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil convert nitrogen from the air into a form that plants can use, which can eventually be released back into the atmosphere through various processes.
What happens to solar energy as it enters earths atmosphere?
it gets absorbed by the ground
How does atmospheric pressure varies with depth?
The pressure increases as the atmosphere gets deeper. At lower levels of the atmosphere there is more fluid above that is being pulled by Earth's gravitational force .So, there is more pressure at lower levels of the atmosphere.
How does the atmosphere change when you go to high in an airplane?
The air becomes less dense, the higher you go. And generally, the temperature gets colder until you reach the thermosphere, which is the hottest part of Earths atmosphere.
Why spacecraft get hot while enter into the earths atmosphere?
A spacecraft has to work against the air friction when it enters our atmosphere. Thus it gets heated a
How does air pressure change on moving from plains to high attiudes. Why?
It gets less, because there is less atmosphere above you, so less weight pushing down.
What change happens in the outside air as an airplane flies higher in the atmosphere?
The atmosphere is densest at sea level, so as the density of air goes down, so does the atmospheric pressure. The atmosphere gets less and less dense as you rise higher above the sea level.
Why does the temp change as you go up in the atmosphere?
the air gets thinner.
What is it called when heat energy gets trapped in earths atmosphere?
That phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect, where gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, leading to an increase in temperatures on the planet.
How does Earths Atmosphere Gets Energy?
Earth's atmosphere gets energy primarily from the sun. Solar radiation heats the atmosphere, creating temperature gradients and driving weather patterns. Some energy is also exchanged between the atmosphere and the Earth's surface through processes like conduction, convection, and evaporation.
What gets created by the physical processes that change Earths surface by pushing its crust up or wearing it down?
Water
Does the atmosphere extends above tall mountains?
the atmosphere extends far beyond the tallest mountain but the closer to space you get, the thinner it gets...this is why planes need to be pressurized
Does the amount of hydrogen in the atmosphere remain constant?
Hydrogen rises above our atmosphere to the outer limit and then gets blown away by 'solar wind'. So it is decreasing.
Explain two ways that earths atmosphere gets heated?
by convection and conduction
How does it change for snowfall or freezing rain?
When it gets above freezing when it rains then it gets below freezing it causes freezing rain.
