What is the atmospheric layers in order from farthest away from the earths surface to the closest to the earths surface?
The atmospheric layers in order from farthest away from the Earth's surface to the closest are the exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, and troposphere. Each layer has its own characteristics and plays a role in Earth's climate and weather patterns.
What Half of earths surface is called?
There is no such thing as half of the Earth. If you are referring to half of the spherical shape of the Earth then it will be a hemisphere.
What happens to air pressure as you move away from earths surface?
Air pressure decreases as you move away from Earth's surface. This is because the weight of air above you becomes less as you move higher in the atmosphere, resulting in lower air pressure at higher altitudes.
How earths manetosphere is created and how it prevents the destruction of all life on?
Earth's magnetosphere is created by the interaction between the planet's magnetic field and the solar wind. It acts as a shield, deflecting charged particles and harmful radiation from the Sun, preventing them from reaching Earth's surface. Without the magnetosphere, these particles would strip away our atmosphere and make the planet uninhabitable.
Buried rock is exposed at earths surface by the combination of which two processes?
The combination of weathering and erosion exposes buried rock at the Earth's surface. Weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces away, eventually revealing the rock at the surface.
What is difference between emitted radiation heat and reflected radiation heat?
The magnitude of the incident angle with the normal of the reflection surface and reflection angle with the normal of the surface are the same. The direction of the reflection is away form the surface and the incident is toward the surface.
What is the wearing away of the earths surface?
Erosion
How heat or light can be reflected?
heat of like can be reflected by a surface pushing away or flicking another molecule away
The atmospheric pressure near the earths surface does what?
It decreases as you move away from the earth surface
What is the layer of earths atmosphere farthest away from earths surface?
Thermosphere, it is also the atmosphere with the highest temperatures.
What are particles that move quickly away from the sun's surface?
Photon energy is emitted from the sun in the form of light. Also Alpha and Beta Radiation particles, these are nuclear in nature and do not reach past earths upper atmosphere.
What happens to heat energy as it reaches the earth?
Some solar radiation is reflected back into space and some is absorbed.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%(Source: NASA)
What is true about the density of gases as you move farther away from earths surface?
it remains unchanged
What is the weathering away of the earths surface by wind glaciers and moving water called?
Help me
What happens to the pull of gravity the farther away you are from earths surface?
The Gravity becomes less
Which direction does the air currents towards the poles or away from the poles?
Away from the poles because the air near Earths surface is warm.
What is called when this type of radiation worms earths surface and heat energy is radiated back into space?
The process you're referring to is known as "radiative cooling." This occurs when the Earth's surface absorbs solar radiation during the day and then emits heat energy back into space, primarily in the form of infrared radiation. During the night or in the absence of sunlight, the surface cools down as it radiates this heat away, leading to a drop in temperature. This phenomenon is essential for regulating the Earth's climate and maintaining temperature balance.
