Where does much of Earth's internal heat come from?
Much of Earth's internal heat comes from the radioactive decay of elements like uranium, thorium, and potassium within the planet's core. Another source of heat is residual heat from Earth's formation over 4.5 billion years ago. This internal heat drives processes such as plate tectonics, volcanism, and the geodynamo that generates Earth's magnetic field.
How much area of earth is covered by water?
Approximately 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water.
If earth's oceans were much smaller how do you think climates on earth would be affected?
If Earth's oceans were much smaller, the climate would likely be more extreme due to reduced heat absorption and distribution. The smaller oceans would also affect weather patterns, leading to drier and more unstable conditions in many regions. Overall, the impact on Earth's climate would be significant and difficult to predict accurately.
Why does water depth effect the water temperature?
Water depth affects water temperature because deeper water is less influenced by changes in air temperature than shallow water. Deeper water has more mass and can retain heat better, leading to a more stable temperature compared to shallow water which can heat up or cool down more quickly. Additionally, sunlight penetration is reduced in deeper water, limiting the amount of heat absorbed at the surface.
How much water is currently present in the Earth's atmosphere?
The Earth's atmosphere contains about 0.001 of water in the form of water vapor.
How can the scarcity of water be reduced?
Don't use as much
Why is the ocean the earth's thermostat?
Too much extra heat, the oceans's absorb it because of the energy required to heat water by the same amount of temperature. Too little heat, and the opposite happens.
Which planet contains much water and just the right amount of heat and light?
The planet that fits this description is Earth. It has abundant water in the form of oceans, lakes, and rivers, as well as the right distance from the Sun to receive optimal heat and light to support life.
What are importance of clouds?

How much of earth's water covers earth?
Water covers 75% of the Earth's surface.
How much water on the whole earth?
71% of the earth is filled with water.
Why is there a high tide on the side of the earth furthest from the sun?
It's obvious why there's a high tide on the side nearest the moon: the water is pulled by the moon's gravity. However, that pull is reduced the further you get from the moon, so on the far side, the water experiences a much reduced pull. That causes it to bulge outwards.
How much heat does water release the when it evaporates?
The water heat of vaporization is 40,65 kJ/mol.
What is true about waters specific heat?
Water has a high specific heat capacity, which means it can absorb and release a large amount of heat without much change in temperature. This property allows water to help regulate Earth's climate by absorbing heat in the summer and releasing it in the winter.
How much water do you have on earth?
well there is 77% of the earth is made up of water
