How do wetlands affect water quality in an area
Definition1/19

The grasses and other plants in a wetland act as a filter for the water, removing contaminants, cleaning up the water. The soil holding the plants acts like a sponge, sops up pollutants.

Why cant a hot air balloon go to higher layers
Definition1/19

Several reasons. The prominent reasons are that if you go too high you'll run low on oxygen and possibly be blown off course by strong winds.

What temperatures would you expect in the mesosphere
Definition1/19

Which mesosphere? The one for the Earth's atmosphere or for the inside? Well, I'll talk about inside. Extremely hot temperatures (since it is the middle of the Earth's inside) so about a few thousand celsius. The mesosphere in the atmosphere is very cold with temperatures as low as -90 degrees celsius.

Term1/19
What is the big bang and what evidence is used to support it
Definition1/19

Evidence is not used to support theory.

Theory is used to explain evidence, and to predict where and how new evidence may be found.

When new evidence is found that theory can't explain, the prevailing theory is modified or discarded.

Term1/19
Why wouldn't the Concorde cruise travel higher
Definition1/19

It did, the Concorde travelled at 60,000 feet and it's cruising speed was 1,350 MPH. It went higher because of its higher cruising speed.

Term1/19
What two functions of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle
Definition1/19

Bacteria function in the nitrogen cycle as nitrogen fixers and denitrifiers. Nitrogen fixing bacteria take in atrmospheric nitrogen gas and "fix" it into a nitrate or nitrite that can be used by plants. Denitrifiers decompose dead plant tissues and release nitrogen to the atmosphere.

What are the two characteristics of the thermosphere make it necessary for us to use a space shuttle to get through it
Definition1/19

All spacecraft returning to Earth, space shuttle or otherwise, experience extreme heating as they go through the upper levels of atmosphere. The shuttle orbiters used ceramic tiles and other heat protection. Capsules such as Soyuz, Dragon and Orion use heat shields which direct heat away from the vehicle.
