Natural factors such as volcanic eruptions, changes in the Earth's orbit, and the amount of energy released from the Sun have affected the Earth's climate. Human activates associated with the Industrial Revolution have also changed the composition of the atmosphere and therefore are likely influencing the Earth's climate.
For over the past 200 years, the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and deforestation have caused the concentrations of heat-trapping "Greenhouse Gases" to increase significantly in our atmosphere. These gases prevent heat from escaping to space, a bit like the glass panels of a greenhouse.
What else can I help you with?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
When heated earths surface radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
infrared radiation, which contributes to the greenhouse effect. This process helps trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the warming of the Earth's surface.
Does weathering and erosion affects all rocks on the earths surface?
Yes, weathering and erosion affect all rocks on Earth's surface to some extent. Weathering breaks down rock into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces to new locations. These processes are constant and can shape the landscape over time.
Slow changes on the earths surface?
Some examples of slow changes on Earth's surface include erosion of rock formations by wind and water, the gradual shifting of tectonic plates resulting in the formation of mountains, and the weathering of rocks through exposure to the elements over time. These processes can take thousands to millions of years to significantly alter the landscape.
What are some examples of landforms that have formed on earths surface?
Some examples of landforms that have formed on Earth's surface include mountains, valleys, plateaus, plains, deserts, canyons, and coastlines. These landforms are created through various geological processes such as volcanic activity, erosion, tectonic movements, and weathering.
Why are some currents cold and some warm?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Why are some density currents warm and others cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Why are warm currents warm and cold currents cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
What covers the earths surface?
mostly water. There are some continents on there too though i believe.
What refers to to water that flows over earths surface?
If you are talking about land above sea , then it would be called run off, because when precipitation falls , whether it is rain or snow , at some point it usually makes its way from the land to the sea via flowing over the surface of the earth.
Where do you experience more gravity on earths surface or earths center?
on the surfaceNote:Since the earth's composition is not homogeneous, the gravitational acceleration onthe surface is probably less than what it is some small distance below the surface,but it's certainly greater than at the center.
Some volcanoes form over thin places in earths crust called?
Some volcanoes form over thin places in the Earth's crust called hotspots. These hotspots are areas where magma rises to the surface, resulting in volcanic activity.
What are some advantages of using a globe to show earths surface?
One advantage to using a globe is that you can more accurately determine distances than you can with a flat map. Flat maps distort the spherical surface and that distortion can be significant over long distances.
How does volcanic ash in Earths atomosphere affect solar radiation?
It blocks (some of) it from reaching the surface of the Earth.
Part of a meteroid that strikes Earths surface?
Part of a meteoroid that strikes earth's surface is known as a meteorite. These are some of the bodies that are found in outer space.
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
How do glaciers tear down or build up earths surface?
The some times make kettle lakes and deposit till
