What else can I help you with?
What planet has an oxygenated atmosphere?
Earth is the only known planet with an oxygenated atmosphere.
What maintains the balance of CO2 and O2 in the atmosphere?
The balance of CO2 and O2 in the atmosphere is maintained through a process known as the carbon cycle. Plants and phytoplankton remove CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis while animals and other organisms release CO2 through respiration. Overall, these processes help sustain the relative levels of both gases in the atmosphere.
What is carbon transferring from a body of water to the atmosphere called?
This movement is evaporation, and is part of the carbon cycle.
The gaseous layer surrounding the earth is known as what?
The gaseous layer surrounding the Earth is known as the atmosphere. It is composed of a mixture of gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, that are held in place by Earth's gravity. The atmosphere plays a crucial role in regulating the planet's temperature and supporting life.
Does the release of tiny particles in the atmosphere reflect solar radiation?
Yes, there is usually a slight slowing in global warming after a major volcanic eruption, as the additional particles in the atmosphere reflect some of the sun's heat before it reaches the earth. This is known as the albedo effect, a reflecting. The same thing happens with the white shiny ice of the polar regions, Greenland and glaciers.
What cloud produces drizzle?
The nimbostratus cloud is known to produce drizzle as it is a thick, dark cloud that brings steady and light precipitation. Drizzle is characterized by small water droplets that fall slowly and persistently from a cloud layer.
Products that create deadly vapors are known as?
corrosives
What kind of clouds often bring drizzle?
Stratus clouds are often associated with drizzle. These low-level clouds form a uniform layer and are known for their ability to produce light precipitation like drizzle or light rain.
Light mist of droplets falling to the earth are called?
The light mist of droplets falling to the earth is called "drizzle." Drizzle consists of very small water droplets that appear as a fine mist or light rain.
What is the gas that surounds a planet known as?
That is known as the "atmosphere".
When plants die or are burned what gas is released and returned to the atmosphere?
When plants die or are burned, they release carbon dioxide gas back into the atmosphere. This process is known as respiration or combustion, and it is a part of the carbon cycle.
How does cutting down forests contribute to the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere?
When forests are cut down, the trees release the carbon they have stored into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2). This process, known as deforestation, contributes to the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere, which is a major factor in climate change.
What is the release of static electricity in the atmosphere?
The release of static electricity in the atmosphere is known as lightning. It occurs when the buildup of static charge in clouds or between clouds and the ground discharges in the form of a visible electrical discharge. Lightning can be accompanied by thunder and can be dangerous due to its high voltage and heat.
How do you know if it is a meteorite?
The name given to meteoroids depends on whether it enters the atmosphere or if it hits the ground.If it does not enter the atmosphere it is known as a meteoroid.If it enters the atmosphere but does not hit the ground it is known as a meteor.If it hits the ground it is known as a meteorite.
