How does recycling conserve natural recources?
it allows us to reuse materials that take hundreds of years to decompose and release fumes to the earths atmosphere
What is the process that brings fossil to the surface?
when a fossil is exposed at the earths surface, that means that weathering and erosions has exposed it or the movement of plate tectonics moved the earth and then the fossil is exposed that way.
How does the hydrosphere interact with the atmosphere?
The Hydrosphere is inside of the Atmosphere. The Hydrosphere contains earths water. Mostly were clouds are and precipitation happens.
What happens to temperature as the angle at which the sun's rays strike the earths surface increases?
Each beam of sunlight has the same amount of energy (which is where we get our warmth). The energy of the sun is more spread accross the Earth's surface with increased angles (oblique). This is what happens at the poles where the sun light hits the Earth at 180 degrees. It is cold at the poles because the sun's energy is spread out over a large area. As the angle of the sun decreases the energy of the sun hits the earth directly and is concentrate. This is what happens when the sun hits the equator at 90 degrees and that is why it is warm at the equator.
Why earth experiences seasons?
Seasonal changes on earth are the result of the fact that the earth's axis of rotation is not perpendicular to the plane in which it moves about the sun. The "tilt" of the earth will cause one hemisphere to be more directly exposed to the sun during a portion of earth's yearly orbit than the other hemisphere. On the opposite side of earth's orbit, the other hemisphere will be more directly exposed to solar rays than the first hemisphere. We know times of more direct sunlight on our hemisphere as summer. At times when the other hemisphere than the one in which we live in is getting the more direct sunlight, we experience what we call winter. Summer has generally warmer and longer days, while winter has colder and shorter days. All of this relates to the tilt of earth's axis of rotation as regards the plane of its orbit around the sun.
What happens to earths materials during deposition?
A river is created?
Why does the erosion take place in the crust?
Erosion happens in the earths crust and it happens because of that layer is exposed to that weather
What happens when water flows over earths materials.?
when the water flows over earth materials the earth materials start to increase into a river and it will have lots and lots of meanders in there
What is the result of earths rotation?
An even distribution of sunlight.
What happens to a rocks that are pushed under earths surface and become hotter and experience more pressure?
They become exposed to deformation, in a process called metamorphism.
What does the angle of earths sunlight causes?
caca
What is earths lightest materials?
talc
How much sunlight reaches a location at a particular time is determined by earths shape and what?
the earths shape and its rotation
Percentage of the exposed earths crust occupied by mountains is?
6%
What is it called when the moon blocks the earths sunlight?
A Lunar Eclipse
What is an opening in the earths crust through which volcanic materials pass to the earths surface?
vent a+
