By reflecting the Sun's heat back into space. This is called albedo.

Which of these climates has permanently frozen ground?
Tundra
What does cloud cover do to the ground level temperature?
Cloud cover acts like a blanket. It prevents excessie heat loss , and also prevents exceissive;y high temperatures.
In cold climates the amount of snow on the ground may decrease even if the tempeature stays below zero degrees celsius. the process that best explains this event is?
sublimation. Sublimation occurs when a solid (snow) directly converts into a gas (water vapor) without transitioning into a liquid state. In cold climates, if the relative humidity is low, the snow can sublime and turn into water vapor due to the dry air, resulting in a decrease in the amount of snow on the ground.
What causes humid climates?
Water evaporates faster at higher temperatures, so warm climates are more likely to be humid than colder climates are (indeed, in very cold weather, even surrounded by ice and snow, the humidity will be very low). But hot climates are not always humid. Deserts can be both hot and dry. Typically, a desert is in a "rain shadow" where an intervening mountain range, between the desert and the nearest ocean, is causing the rain to fall before it reaches the desert. Being close to an ocean is a good source of humidity. Lakes and rivers are also a source of humidity. Rain forests are humid, because the vegetation is very efficient at drawing water out of the ground and releasing it through the pores (or technically, stomata) in leaves. The rain is constantly being recirculated, at it falls into the ground and is again absorbed.
What two structures keep the leaf from dying out?
The vascular system prevents leaves from drying out by taking water from the ground and delivering it to other parts of the plant, including the leaves. The leaves' waxy cuticles also prevent them from drying out.
What normally prevents a Hartzell Compact propeller from going to feather when the engine is shut down on the ground?
A latch mechanism composed of springs and lock pins.
Can snakes live in cold climates?
They can live in cold climates if they bury themselves in the ground.
Which of these climates has permanently frozen ground?
Tundra
In an electric circuit the ground prevents current?
false
Waxy watertight outer covering that prevents the above ground parts of a plant from losing water?
the cuticle prevents dessication
How does not dumping trash in oceans and on the ground help the environment?
It prevents pollution.
In an electric circuit the ground prevents current from flowing in the circuit.?
false
How does moss prevent landslides?
Moss prevents landslides by binding it self to the ground
What is parachute?
A parachute is some thing that prevents you form crashing into the ground when sky diving.
Which of the following correctly explains how energy is emitted when an atom returns to the ground state?
There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. You did not provide the list of "the following". In general, however, if it is the nucleus that returns to ground state, then gamma ray emission is the mechanism. It it is the electron cloud the returns to ground state, then x-ray emission is the mechanism. The end result is the same - a photon is emitted with a certain energy - only the mechanism differs.
Why is it necessary to use basement waterproofing in dry climates?
Basement waterproofing is always necessary even in dry climates due to the potential for water and consequent mold to form in below-ground environments.
Why is a ground strap necessary safety feature when transferring fuel?
The ground strap prevents static electricity causing a spark, which could cause a fire.
