Where on earth surface does most precipitation fall
Why is Co2 is a greenhouse gas?
CO2 is a greenhouse gas because it absorbs and traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere. When sunlight hits the Earth's surface, some of the heat is reflected back into space as infrared radiation. CO2 molecules in the atmosphere absorb this infrared radiation, preventing it from escaping into space and thus leading to a warming effect.
What effect occurs as solar radiation is absorbed by the Earths surface and re-radiated into the atmosphere where it gets trapped and warms the Earth?
The effect that occurs when solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface and then re-radiated into the atmosphere, where it gets trapped, is known as the greenhouse effect. This process involves greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation, which warms the atmosphere and the Earth's surface. While this natural phenomenon is essential for maintaining a habitable climate, human activities have intensified the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change.
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 is a high natural elevation of the earths surface rising abrutply to a summit?
A mountain is a high natural elevation of the earth's surface that rises abruptly to a summit.
What is called an unnatural warming of the atmosphere near earths surface?
An unnatural warming of the atmosphere near Earth's surface is called global warming or anthropogenic climate change. This phenomenon is primarily caused by human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat and leading to a rise in global temperatures.
What is gradual warming of Earth's surface?
The gradual warming of earths surface is called global warming.
When heated earths surface radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
infrared radiation, which contributes to the greenhouse effect. This process helps trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the warming of the Earth's surface.
What are the componets of natural gas?
the earths surface is bound connect with the atmosphere that represents the greenhouse effect.
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 unnatural temperature increase in the atmosphere near Earths surface is called?
An unnatural temperature increase in the atmosphere near the Earth's surface is called global warming
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.
The gradual increase of the average air temperature in the earths lower atmosphere?
Global. Warming
What layer of the atmosphere is heated by the earths surface?
trophosphere
What phenomenon naturallt warms earths lower atmosphere and surface?
The greenhouse effect is the natural phenomenon that warms Earth's lower atmosphere and surface. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor trap heat from the sun, causing the temperature to rise. This process is essential for supporting life on Earth, but human activities have enhanced the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming.
