Where on earths surface does most most precipitation fall?
Where on earth surface does most precipitation fall
Does reflection and absorption by the atmosphere prevent ozone from reaching earths surface?
Yes, reflection and absorption by the atmosphere can prevent some ozone from reaching Earth's surface. Ozone in the stratosphere absorbs much of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation, protecting the Earth's surface from harmful UV rays. However, some ozone does reach the surface, where it can also have positive effects, such as reducing air pollution.
Does the earths atmosphere block Gamma rays X-rays and most UV light?
Ozone, on the surface of earth is a corrosive and poisonous gas but at the height of 20-50 km from the Earth i.e. in the earth's atmosphere, becomes vital to life as it absorbs almost all u.v. radiations which are harmful to living things.
Which layer of the atmosphere is furthest from earths surface?
Cirrus clouds are very high in the atmosphere making then furthest from the Earth's surface. They are very thin and wispy in appearance.
What natural warming of both earth lower atmosphere and the earths surface is the blank effect?
greenhouse effect
Does xrays go through earths atmosphere?
No, the earth's atmosphere reflects and absorbs x-rays, so they do not make it to the surface.
What does earths atmosphere do to x rays?
The atmosphere absorbs X rays.
What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?
the greenhouse effect!
Why are carbon dioxide water vapor and other greenhouse gases important to life on Earths surface?
They absorb radiant energy emitted by Earths surface
What is the layer of earths atmosphere farthest away from earths surface?
Thermosphere, it is also the atmosphere with the highest temperatures.
What is the moisture that covers the earths surface?
the atmosphere
Which of does the atmosphere exert pressure on?
the earths surface.
Why does earths atmosphere absorb radiation?
It absorbs radiation to protect it. It protects from UV rays.
What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
What layer of the atmosphere is heated by the earths surface?
trophosphere
What part of the earths atmosphere absorbs the radiation that causes skin cancer?
green house effect
What is the name of the layer of the earths atmosphere that absorbs the majority of the potentially damaging ultraviolet from the sun?
Ozone
