Collect the Differences between a barometer and manometer?
barometer is used to measuring atmospheric pressure. manometer is used to measuring the pressure of gases.
What does the term greenhouse effect mean?
Green house effect is a process in atmospheric physics that traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere. It is the result of physical interaction between components of the atmosphere (greenhouse gases) and incoming sunlight. It is not a layer of carbon dioxide in the sky that reflects heat back down as it radiates from the Earth's surface. Heat is absorbed by the carbon dioxide all through the atmosphere and the warmer gas "shares" its heat with all the atmospheric gases increasing the average atmospheric temperature.
What does atmospheric pressure measure?
The force of colliding particles
The atmospheric gas that forms a mild acid when dissolved in water is?
This would be carbon dioxide. When carbon dioxide dissolves in water (as all gases do to some extent) it forms carbonic acid, because the chemical formula would be in perfect balance. Carbonic acid has the chemical formula H2CO3. Also carbon dioxide dissolves into water more readily than many other atmospheric gases. CO2 + H2O <--> H2CO3
Why don't we run out of the importanat gases that we need to stay alive?
Because new gas is produced as a part of a cycle.
What is a principal cause of acid rain?
Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids.Nitrogen oxides can be produced naturally by lightning strikes and sulphur dioxide is produced by volcanic eruptions and industrial emissions. It also can be from gases from burning coal and oil released into the air.
Are volcanic eruptions weather or climate related?
Volcanic eruptions are not directly related to weather or climate. They occur due to activity beneath the Earth's surface, such as pressure in magma chambers or tectonic movements, rather than changes in atmospheric conditions. However, volcanic eruptions can impact climate by releasing ash and gases into the atmosphere that can affect temperatures and weather patterns.
What are the two main gases produced by the industrial gases industry?
The industrial gas industry differs from many other types of manufacturing because its raw materials are primarily extracted from the atmosphere. The two principal gases produced by the industry are nitrogen and oxygen.
What gas is produced by volcanic eruptions?
Volcanic eruptions primarily produce water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide as gases. Other gases, such as hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen chloride, and various trace gases, can also be emitted. The composition and volume of these gases vary depending on the type of volcano and the characteristics of the magma involved in the eruption. These gases can have significant effects on the atmosphere and climate, as well as on local air quality.
What type of eruptions does Mt Tambora have?
Mount Tambora is primarily known for its explosive volcanic eruptions, characterized as Plinian eruptions. The most significant eruption occurred in April 1815, which was one of the most powerful in recorded history, ejecting vast amounts of ash and gases into the atmosphere. This eruption caused widespread climatic effects, leading to the "Year Without a Summer" in 1816. Tambora's eruptions typically involve the release of ash, pumice, and volcanic gases, resulting in significant atmospheric and environmental impacts.
Earth's early atmosphere was formed by gases released by oceans plants cornet impacts or volcanic eruptions?
Earth's early atmosphere was primarily formed from gases released by volcanic eruptions. These gases included water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and trace amounts of other gases such as methane and ammonia. Over time, the atmosphere evolved as oxygen levels increased due to the emergence of photosynthetic organisms like cyanobacteria.
What atmospheric gases help to heat the earth?
The atmospheric gases carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are all greenhouse gases that help to heat the Earth.
Does Mount Fuji have explosive or non explosive eruptions?
Mount Fuji typically has non-explosive eruptions, which are characterized by the slow release of lava and volcanic gases. However, there is also some evidence of explosive eruptions occurring in the past, which have produced ash clouds and pyroclastic flows.
What are the principal gases in the tertiary period?
The same gases as today.
How are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
What is Neptune's atmospheric gases?
it is hydrogen
What is the agent of atmospheric temperature change?
The main agent of atmospheric temperature change is the greenhouse effect, which occurs when greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere. Other factors that can influence atmospheric temperature include solar radiation, volcanic eruptions, and human activities such as deforestation and burning fossil fuels.
