Exposure of rocks at the earth's surface to water and atmospheric conditions is most likely to cause erosion. The Grand Canyon is a good example of this type of exposure.

The atmospheric pressure near the earths surface does what?

It decreases as you move away from the earth surface


Air weight that varies over earths surface is called?

Atmospheric pressure varies over Earth's surface, mainly due to differences in temperature, altitude, and weather conditions. This variation in air pressure creates different weight of air known as atmospheric weight.


In which atmospheric zone of earth covers approximately 70 of earths surface?

The troposphere is the atmospheric zone that covers approximately 70% of the Earth's surface. It is where most weather phenomena occur and where the majority of Earth's atmospheric gases are found.


What happens when the atmospheric pressure is greatest near the Earths surface?

When atmospheric pressure is greatest near the Earth's surface, it usually indicates stable and fair weather conditions. High pressure systems generally bring clear skies, low humidity, and light winds. This can lead to pleasant weather conditions in the area.


The atmospheric layer closest to the earths surface is called the?

The atmospheric layer closest to the Earth's surface is called the troposphere. It extends up to around 10 kilometers above the Earth's surface and contains the majority of the Earth's weather phenomena.


Dose air in the atmosphere exert pressure on earths surface?

Yes. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure caused by air when it exerts pressure on the surface of earth.


What are characteristics of the amount of energy that is absorbed or reflected by earths surface?

The amount of energy absorbed or reflected by Earth's surface is influenced by factors such as surface albedo, surface characteristics (e.g. vegetation, water bodies), and atmospheric conditions (e.g. clouds, aerosols). Different surfaces have different albedos, which determine how much solar radiation is absorbed versus reflected. Additionally, atmospheric components can impact the amount of energy reaching and interacting with the surface.


What is the atmospheric layers in order from farthest away from the earths surface to the closest to the earths surface?

The atmospheric layers in order from farthest away from the Earth's surface to the closest are the exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, and troposphere. Each layer has its own characteristics and plays a role in Earth's climate and weather patterns.


Which atmospheric temperature zone is located between 8 and 32 miles above earths surface and contains an abundance of ozone?

The atmospheric zone is stratospheric zone. This is located 8 to 32 miles above earth's surface.


What planets air pressure is the same as it is 30 km above earths surface?

The planet with an atmospheric pressure similar to that 30 km above Earth's surface is Venus. At an altitude of about 50 km above Venus, the atmospheric pressure is comparable to Earth's surface pressure.


How do you define weathering?

the climate of the earths atmosphere bepending on matter and airclimate is the atmospheric conditions over a large area and a long perios of timefor example humid is type of climate^_^


What causes the pressure of the atmosphere?

Atmospheric pressure is caused by the force of the air above the earths surface. It is measured by the point in which the air meets the atmosphere.
