Why do scientists recognize a boundary between layers at about 12 kilometers above sea level?
the way the altitude changes the temperature changes
What is the main principle of gravity circulation of hot water known as?
Stratification is wrong,STRATIFICATION1.a. Formation or deposition of layers, as of rock or sediments. b. The condition of being stratified.2. A layered configuration.the answer your looking for is CONVECTION
What happens to air pressure as the altitude of the layers of th e atmosphere increase?
The temperature decreases
What method do scientist use to determine the earth layers?
Type your answer here... D.Comparing the composition of the crust to other bodies in the solar system
Which is the correct answer for this questionThe law of ______states that new rock layers are always deposited on top of existing rock layers.?
New rock layers are always deposited on top of existing rock layers. Therefore, deeper layers must be older than layers closer to the surface. This is the law of superposition.
Atmosphere layers are distinguished by what?
Altitude
Determines the temperature of atmospheric layers?
altitude
According to what changes of layers its classify by what?
altitude
What is the proper order of the layers of a generic atmosphere from lowest altitude to highest?
The atmosphere has four layers. Here is the order of the layer from the lowest altitude: the troposphere, stratosphere, thermosphere, and the exosphere.
Why does gravity cause layers of sediment to be horizontal?
As more sediment is added, it is compressed and hardens into rock layers.
Why do sediments form in layers?
The action of water and gravity cause them to form in layers.
What is the altitude of thermosphere?
The altitude of the Thermosphere is from about 50 miles to 310 miles. The Thermosphere is the biggest of all layers of the Earth's atmosphere.
How do atmospheric layers differ?
The five layers of the atmosphere have different atmospheric temperature that occurs with increasing altitude. The layers also thin out with height from the surface.
What layers acts like a giant magnet?
THERMOSPHERE/IONSPHERE. This attracts solar winds!
In which layers does the temperature decrease as altitude increases?
Temperature will decrease as the altitude increases at all levels due to the thinning of atmospheric gasses.
What force holds the layers of the atmosphere of the Earth?
Gravity.
What keeps the layers of the atmosphere from diffusing into space?
Gravity
