What happens to the size of the layers the farther they get from the earth?
As you move farther from the Earth's surface, the layers of the atmosphere generally decrease in density and temperature. For example, the troposphere, closest to the Earth, is thicker and more turbulent, while the stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere become progressively less dense and more stratified. Additionally, the pressure decreases with altitude, affecting the size and structure of these layers. Overall, the layers become less substantial in terms of mass and density as you ascend.
Do plates become more dense or less dense when they become cooler?
Cooler material is more dense and hotter material is less. This means that plates become more dense as they cool.
Does more dense or less dense objects settle faster?
More dense objects settle faster than less dense objects. This is because denser objects have more mass and therefore experience a greater force of gravity pulling them downward, causing them to settle more quickly than less dense objects.
What is the relationship between tropospheric temperature and the thickness of the troposphere?
As tropospheric temperature increases, the troposphere tends to expand and its thickness grows. This is due to the fact that warmer air is less dense and occupies more space, pushing the boundaries of the troposphere higher into the atmosphere. Conversely, when tropospheric temperature decreases, the troposphere contracts and becomes thinner.
How call you tell if a substance is more or less dense then water?
You can determine if a substance is more or less dense than water by comparing their densities. Water has a density of 1 g/cm3 at 4 degrees Celsius. If a substance has a density greater than 1 g/cm3, it is more dense than water. If it has a density less than 1 g/cm3, it is less dense than water.
Is the troposphere more dense in the summer or winter?
The troposphere is typically more dense in the winter due to colder temperatures causing air to contract and become denser. In the summer, warmer temperatures cause the air to expand and become less dense.
Which layer has more volume of oxygen between the troposphere and stratosphere?
The troposphere has more volume of oxygen compared to the stratosphere. This is because the troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth's surface, where most atmospheric gases are concentrated, including oxygen. The stratosphere, located above the troposphere, has lower concentrations of oxygen.
Why can and rsquot air from the troposphere and the stratosphere mix freely?
Air from the troposphere and stratosphere cannot mix freely primarily due to the temperature inversion that characterizes the boundary between these two layers. In the troposphere, temperature decreases with altitude, while in the stratosphere, it increases with altitude. This temperature difference creates a stable layer that inhibits vertical mixing. Additionally, the presence of the tropopause acts as a barrier, preventing the turbulent air of the troposphere from easily entering the more stratified stratosphere.
Is ice less dense or more dense than water?
no
What are in order from bottom to top the five layers of atmosphere?
The five layers of Earth's atmosphere from bottom to top are troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Each layer has unique characteristics and plays a role in regulating temperature and weather patterns.
Is the air in the mesosphere thicker than the air in the stratosphere?
If by thicker you mean more dense then the answer is no.
If the volume of air is less then the less dense or more dense the air is?
its has more pressure

Is very salty water more or less dense than more dense?
More Dense.
Is the earth less dense or more dense than water?
Earth is more dense.
The layer that contains 90 percent of the total mass of the atmosphere?
There are a few layers to the atmosphere however the Troposphere is the largest part of the atmosphere containing 75% of its mass. However the Troposphere contains 99% of the water vapour on the planet as well as Earth's aerosols. It is also where all weather phenomenon will occur.
How can you determine whether solid object is more dense or less dense than water?
If more dense, it will sink when put into water; if less dense it floats.
