What percentage of the suns radiation that reaches the earths atmosphere is absorbed by earths surface?
About 50% of the sun's radiation that reaches Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The remaining energy is either reflected back to space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
What is the layer of the atmosphere that is closest to the Earths surface?
The layer closest to the Earth's surface is the troposphere. It contains most of the atmosphere's mass and is where weather events occur.
What is the air above the earths surface called?
The layer of air above the Earth's surface is called the atmosphere. It is composed of various gases and extends several kilometers into space.
What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
What moves water between the earths surface and the atmosphere and back again?
The process of evaporation moves water from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere, where it condenses into clouds. Precipitation, such as rain or snow, returns water from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface. This cycle is known as the water cycle.
In which form do many minerals occur naturally on the earths surface?
Many minerals occur naturally on the earths surface in rock form
Is chlorine found naturally in the earths atmosphere?
yes
What is the least plentiful substance in the earths atmosphere?
Nitrogen.
What is the layer of earths atmosphere farthest away from earths surface?
Thermosphere, it is also the atmosphere with the highest temperatures.
What is the moisture that covers the earths surface?
the atmosphere
Which of does the atmosphere exert pressure on?
the earths surface.
What layer of the atmosphere is heated by the earths surface?
trophosphere
What the most ultraviolet radiation is blocked from reaching earths surface by what substance found in the atmosphere?
Ozone in the atmosphere blocks most of the UV radiation from the Sun... Without it's protection - the planet would overheat.
What is the layer of the atmosphere farthest from earths surface?
Thermosphere, it is also the atmosphere with the highest temperatures.
When is water moved from the atmosphere to earths surface?
When it rains or snows.
What substance reaches the earths surface that comes from a volcano?
lava
What percentage of the suns radiation that reaches the earths atmosphere is absorbed by earths surface?
About 50% of the sun's radiation that reaches Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The remaining energy is either reflected back to space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
