What else can I help you with?
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
Can you generalize that the higher the layer of the atmosphere the hotter the temperature Why or why not?
No, you cannot generalize that the higher the layer of the atmosphere, the hotter the temperature. In the troposphere, temperature decreases with altitude due to the decreasing pressure and density of air. However, in the stratosphere, temperature actually increases with altitude because of the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer. Thus, temperature variations in the atmosphere depend on specific layers and their characteristics.
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
What is gravity in thermosphere?
Gravity in the thermosphere, like in other layers of Earth's atmosphere, is the force that attracts objects toward the planet's center. However, the thermosphere, which extends from about 85 to 600 kilometers above the Earth's surface, experiences a decrease in air density, leading to a less pronounced effect of gravity on objects compared to lower atmospheric layers. While gravity is still present, the extremely thin air results in phenomena such as the high altitude of satellites and the behavior of particles in this layer being influenced more by energy from solar radiation than by gravitational pull.
What keeps the layers of the atmosphere from diffusing into space?
The Earth's gravity is what keeps the layers of the atmosphere from diffusing into space. The particles of the atmosphere are held close to the surface of the Earth by gravity, creating a stable layer of gases around our planet.
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 do sediments form in layers?
The action of water and gravity cause them to form in layers.
Why does gravity cause layers of sediment to be horizontal?
Gravity causes layers of sediment to be horizontal because as sediment deposits, it settles evenly due to gravity pulling the particles downwards. Over time, as more sediment accumulates, the weight of the new layers causes the underlying layers to compact and settle into a horizontal orientation.
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.
Atmosphere layers are distinguished by what?
Atmosphere layers are distinguished by changes in temperature with altitude. The five main layers are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere, each characterized by distinct temperature profiles and atmospheric phenomena. These layers have different compositions, densities, and interactions with solar radiation and other factors.
What layers acts like a giant magnet?
THERMOSPHERE/IONSPHERE. This attracts solar winds!
What are the layers of gases around Earth?
The layers of gases around Earth, in order of increasing altitude, are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Each layer has distinct characteristics and plays a specific role in Earth's atmosphere.
