The atmosphere transfers energy from Earth's surface through a process called convection. This involves the movement of air and heat energy through the atmosphere via processes like warm air rising and cool air sinking. Ultimately, this helps distribute heat around the planet.

What process transfers energy from the warm surface of the earth to air particles in the atmosphere?
The process that transfers energy from the warm surface of the Earth to air particles in the atmosphere is called convection. As the Earth's surface heats up, the air in contact with it also warms up and becomes less dense, causing it to rise. This rising warm air transfers energy to the surrounding cooler air particles through convection currents.
What percent of the suns energy is absorbed at earths surface?
Roughly 70% of the sun's energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The rest is reflected back into space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
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."
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 cause of most surface currents?
Surface currents are primarily caused by the wind, which transfers its energy to the ocean's surface through friction. The rotation of the Earth also influences the direction of these currents through the Coriolis effect.
When earth cools most of the energy transfers from earths surface to space is transfers by the process of?
Radiation
What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?
the greenhouse effect!
What absorbed the most energy that is radiated from earths surface?
the greenhouse
What is the point on earths surface where an earthquake energy is received?
epicenter
Why are carbon dioxide water vapor and other greenhouse gases important to life on Earths surface?
They absorb radiant energy emitted by Earths surface
What is the transfer of energy from the sun to earths surface?
Because of the heat and light
What process transfers energy from the warm surface of the earth to air particles in the atmosphere?
The process that transfers energy from the warm surface of the Earth to air particles in the atmosphere is called convection. As the Earth's surface heats up, the air in contact with it also warms up and becomes less dense, causing it to rise. This rising warm air transfers energy to the surrounding cooler air particles through convection currents.
What is potential energy dependent upon an objects weight and distance from earths surface?
Gravitational potential energy.
What is the way the sun's energy is absorbed by the earths surface and warms the earth?
the answer is conduction
When the suns rays strike the earths surface energy is absorbed or reflected?
absorbed
The earths surface transfers heat to the atmosphere primarily by?
The Earth's surface transfers heat to the atmosphere primarily by convection and radiation. As the surface heats up, air in contact with the surface warms up and rises, creating vertical currents of warm air. At the same time, the Earth's surface emits radiation in the form of heat, which is absorbed by the atmosphere.
When you touch a cold surface does cold travel from the surface to your hand or does energy travel from your hand to the cold surface?
Energy travels from your hand to the surface, because even the slightest touch transfers energy. Cold doesn't transfer from the surface to your hand, your nerves just tell your brain that the surface is cold.
