What else can I help you with?
Why does temperature rise as altitude increases in the stratosphere?
It begins to get warmer from the sun's radiation.
What part of the water cycle does solar radiation affect directly?
The sun (and wind) causes sea water to evaporate and rise to form clouds.
What are gasses in the atmosphere that absorb solar radiation called?
The ozone gas absorbs UV rays. It is present as ozone layer.These atmospheric gases, also referred to as greenhouse gases, absorb solar radiation and cause a rise in temperature.
What happens to air heated by radiation?
When air is heated by radiation, the air molecules absorb the radiant energy and increase in kinetic energy, causing them to move more vigorously. This increased motion leads to expansion of the air, resulting in a rise in temperature.
Why south pole receives little solar radiation during the winter?
The South Pole receives little solar radiation during the winter because of its high latitude, which causes the sun to stay very low or not rise above the horizon at all. This results in extended periods of darkness and low sunlight exposure during the winter months.
What type of radiation causes temperature to rise?
Infrared radiation is responsible for causing temperatures to rise. When infrared radiation strikes an object, it is absorbed and converted into heat, leading to an increase in the object's temperature.
Why does temperature rise as altitude increases in the stratosphere?
It begins to get warmer from the sun's radiation.
Ions Trapped in the Earth's magnetic field give rise to?
ultraviolet radiation
What is entailed in the state of emergency at the nuclear power plant in Onagawa Japan?
The radiation levels rise, causing 1,000% more radiation than normal.
What effect does air density have on the absorption and radiation of energy?
An increase in air density will mean a decrease in the absorption and radiation of energy. An increase of air density causes temperature and pressure to rise.
How secondary radiation is produced?
Secondary radiation is produced when a primary radiation beam interacts with matter, such as tissues or shielding materials, and gives rise to additional radiation. This can occur through processes like Compton scattering, photoelectric effect, and pair production, resulting in the generation of secondary photons, electrons, or other particles. Secondary radiation is a concern in radiation protection as it can contribute to the overall radiation dose received by individuals.
How do greenhouse gases absorb shortwave radiation?
Greenhouse gases absorb shortwave radiation by allowing it to pass through the Earth's atmosphere and reach the surface. Once the radiation hits the surface, it is absorbed and re-emitted as longwave radiation. Greenhouse gases then trap this longwave radiation, preventing it from escaping back into space and causing the Earth's temperature to rise.
How does a lava lamp work using radiation?
A lava lamp works through convection, not radiation. The heat source at the base of the lamp warms up the wax, causing it to rise and fall in a mesmerizing pattern. Radiation is typically not involved in the operation of a lava lamp.
What happens to the thermal energy of a material when radiation is absorbed in a material?
When radiation is absorbed in a material, the thermal energy of the material increases due to the conversion of radiation energy into heat. This increase in thermal energy can lead to a rise in the temperature of the material.
Does the transfer of thermal energy by radiation require matter?
Now, this question has two answers. To give rise to, and to absorb, thermal radiation, matter is needed. Energy in the form of gravitational or electromagnetic fields neither emits nor absorbs thermal radiation. However, thermal radiation, an electromagnetic wave, does not need matter to transverse space.
What part of the water cycle does Solar radiation affect?
The sun (and wind) causes sea water to evaporate and rise to form clouds.
What relationship between insolation and terrestrial radiation causes temperature to rise?
Insolation (incoming solar radiation) heats the Earth's surface, causing it to warm up. The warm surface then emits terrestrial radiation (heat energy) back into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap some of this terrestrial radiation, leading to an increase in temperature, known as the greenhouse effect.
