What process causes water to move from Earth's surface to the atmosphere during the water cycle?
The water on Earth's surface is heated up, and the particles start moving fast enough to push each other away. This causes the water to become a gas, which rises. This process is called evaporation.
What is a natural process that holds heat Earth-atmosphere?
The Greenhouse Effect.
The lower atmosphere is directly warmed by?
By the emission of the terrestrial radiation. Terrestrial radiation is emitted in the infrared long-wavelength part of the spectrum. It is terrestrial radiation rather than solar radiation that directly warms the lower atmosphere.
Does the sun support the process of plate tectonics?
No, the sun's energy heats the Earth's atmosphere and surface, but it does not directly drive plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is primarily driven by heat from the Earth's interior, specifically by the heat generated by radioactive decay in the mantle.
Process by which carbon circulates around the earth as plant remove carbon from the atmosphere and animals add carbon to the atmosphere?
carboncycle
What process indirectly removes carbon from the earth's atmosphere?
Photosynthesis is the process that indirectly removes carbon from the Earth's atmosphere. During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and use it to produce glucose and oxygen. This process helps in reducing the amount of carbon in the atmosphere and storing it in the form of plant material.
What biological process is responsible for the creation of oxygen in earth's atmosphere?
The process responsible for the creation of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere is photosynthesis, which occurs in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. During photosynthesis, these organisms use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process has been essential in shaping Earth's atmosphere and maintaining a stable environment for life.
Is the earth's atmosphere heated directly by a planet or a star?
Earth is heated by the sun, which is a star.
What step caused an aerobic atmosphere during the history of earth?
The evolution of photosynthetic organisms, such as cyanobacteria, led to the buildup of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere through a process called the Great Oxidation Event. This occurred around 2.4 billion years ago, gradually transforming the atmosphere from anaerobic to aerobic.
What caused an aerobic atmosphere during the history of the earth?
The origin of photosynthetic prokaryotes caused an aerobic atmosphere during the history of the earth.
What is the process by which the earth's atmosphere absorbs heat?
sublimation
What is the process by which the earth atmosphere absorbs heat?
sublimation
What earth process helps remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
The process of photosynthesis helps remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The lower atmosphere is directly warmed from?
It's warmed from the surface. Shortwave radiation passes through the atmosphere, or at least about half of it, where it reaches the ground and is absorbed. The ground re-emits it at a longer wavelength, thereby warming the lower atmosphere.
What do you call the process of water from the atmosphere going down to earth?
that process is called precipitation...............
Which process releases most of the oxygen you have in your atmosphere?
Photosynthesis is the process that releases most of the oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere. During photosynthesis, plants and other organisms use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process is essential for maintaining the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
How does conduction play a role in the Earth's atmosphere?
Conduction in the Earth's atmosphere occurs when heat transfers from the Earth's surface to the air molecules directly in contact with it. This process helps warm the lower atmosphere and creates temperature variations leading to weather patterns and the formation of winds. However, conduction is not the dominant heat transfer mechanism in the atmosphere, as convection and radiation play larger roles.
