How might a thick puffy cloud reflect a different amount of the suns radiation than a thin wispy one?

Thick puffy cloud reflects suns radiation thick clouds reflect radiation keeping earth cool. Thin wispy cloud reflects sun radiation thin don't reflect as much radiation allowing the earth to warm.


What do scientists use to test an area for oil without drilling?

Scientists use various methods such as seismic surveys, gravity surveys, electromagnetic surveys, and remote sensing techniques like satellite imaging to test an area for oil without drilling. These methods can provide valuable information about the subsurface geology and potential presence of oil reserves.


Why do scientists use fossil fuels?

Scientists use fossil fuels because they are a source of energy that is relatively cheap and readily available. Fossil fuels are used in many scientific processes and experiments that require a consistent and convenient source of power. However, there is a growing concern about the impact of fossil fuels on the environment and efforts are being made to transition to more sustainable energy sources.


How do scientists know that Earth's climate has changed over time?

Scientists study various sources of evidence such as ice cores, sediment layers, tree rings, and historical records to track changes in Earth's climate over time. These sources provide data on temperature, precipitation, and other climate factors that help scientists reconstruct past climates and understand how they have changed. Additionally, proxy indicators like the ratio of oxygen isotopes in ice cores can provide valuable information about past climates.


How harmful is americium to humans?

Americium is a radioactive element found in nuclear waste. It can pose a health risk if ingested or inhaled, as it accumulates in bones and can increase the risk of cancer. Exposure to high levels of americium can cause radiation sickness and potentially be fatal.
