Do greenhouse gases warm the air near earth's surface by trapping carbon dioxide?
No, greenhouse gases warm the air near the earth's surface by trapping heat from the warm earth that would otherwise escape into space.
What affect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?
The surface wind speed has no effect on the Coriolis Force. The Coriolis Force is dependant on the rotation of Earth that has the effect on surface wind and not the other way around
Why does heat flow from the center of the earth to the surface?
the earth's hot materials move towards the earth's surface because the crust is weak and there is no other way in which the hot materials can escape except explosion. there is no other place to where it can magically teleport so to escape so thus, it explodes out mostly through the weak cracks and fissures on the earth's surface. -Zulekha Das
How long does it take to escape earth atmosphere in a rocket ship?
you have to be more specific you haven't even said how fast your travelling but the minimum speed you need to be travelling at to escape the atmosphere is 24,000 miles per hour
What is water that flows over earth's surface?
Water that flows over Earth's surface is called runoff. Runoff is an important agent of erosion, especially if the water is moving fast. The more speed water has, the more material it can carry with it.
What is the maximum possible speed of impact upon the surface of the Earth for a faraway body initially at rest that falls to the Earth by virtue of the Earth's gravity only?
The maximum possible speed is 11.2km/s (25,000 mph), which is the Earth's "escape speed."
Which of these are fissures through which water and water vapor escape from the Earth's surface?
Fumaroles are fissures through which water and water vapor escape from the Earth's surface.
What is the escape velocity from the earth surface?
12km/Sec
What is Rocket speed per sec to escape from earth gravity?
the rocket speed required to escape out of the earth's gravity is known as escape velocity which is numerically equal to 11.2 km per sec.
In order to escape the gravity of earth a space vehicle near earth must have a speed of about?
about 25,000 mph to completely escape earth's gravity
What is the escape velocity for satellite?
If it is close to Earth, it would need a speed of 11.2 kilometers per second to escape from Earth.
What is the name of magma escape onto earth surface?
Lava.
Why you must study escape velocity?
You don't. "Escape velocity" is a meaningless number. "Escape velocity" is the speed at which a CANNON SHELL must be fired in order to escape from the Earth's gravity well. With a powered rocket, you can "escape" from the Earth's gravity at ANY speed - as long as you have enough fuel.
What is escape velocity of speed?
You mean what is the escape velocity of Earth? If so, the answer is 11,2 km/s
Why are helium and the free hydrogen very rare on earth?
Too light and too close to the 1/6 rule in escape speed from earth's gravity. A gas must be withing 1/6 of the escape speed from earth's escape speed for it's gravity to be easily retained in the earth's atmosphere. These two gases are heated too easily. are too light and too close to the escape speed to hang around unfixed, or untrapped in the atmosphere.
An engine with a speed that can escape earth's gravity?
space probe
Which of these are fissures through which water and water vapor escape from the Earths surface?
Fumaroles are fissures through which water and water vapor escape from the Earth's surface.
