What is right above the epicenter of the earth's surface?
The epicenter of an earthquake is directly above the focus or hypocenter, which is the point where the seismic waves originate within the Earth. It is typically located on the Earth's surface directly vertically above the focus.
Why are winds near the surface typically stronger and more gusty in the afternoon?
In the afternoon, the sun heats the Earth's surface, causing it to warm faster than the atmosphere above. This temperature difference leads to the air near the surface being warmer and lighter, which results in vertical mixing of air masses and stronger winds. Gustiness can occur as a result of this mixing, along with turbulence from obstacles on the ground.
Is The stratosphere the closest layer to the Earth's surface?
Troposphere is closest the earth's surface.Stratosphere is the second closest on earth surface.
What is a crack in earth surface called out of these answers lava magma steam or none of the above?
None of the above. A crack in the Earth's surface is called a fissure or a fault.
Why is air above the equator warmer?
All warm air rises and cooler air falls regardless of where on the Earth it is. If you are asking about where the equator gets its warmth, it is the line receiving the most direct warmth from the sun, not affected by season changes. See Related Links below for more information.
When a layer of cool air at the surface of earth is found under layer of warmer air above it the result is known as?
Temperature inversion
When a layer of cool air at the surface of the earth is found under a layer of warmer air above it the result is known as?
Temperature inversion
Why is Earth's surface warmer in the north hemisphere it is summer there?
The earth surface is warmer in the northern hemisphere when it issummer there because of the angle of the sun. For the same reason,the Earth's surface is warmer in the southern hemisphere when it isSummer there.
When a sound from a source is reflected away from the surface of the earth what situation likely exists?
The surface is warmer than the air above it, causing upward refraction.
What causes the Sun's energy in Earth's atmosphere to produce winds?
When the act of the Earth's surface absorbing the sun's energy, it turns light into heat. The heat on the Earth's surface warms the air above it causing the air over the equator to get warmer than the surface air.
Why is the Earth's surface warmer than the surface of other planets like Mars?
The Earth's atmosphere traps heat.
Is it warmer underground or on the surface?
It is warmer underground than on the surface because the Earth's inner core is much hotter than the surface. The temperature increases the deeper you go beneath the Earth's surface due to the geothermal heat coming from the Earth's interior.
What percentage of earth's surface is above sea level?
Approximately 29% of Earth's surface is above sea level.
Why is the surface of earth so much warmer than the surface of mars?
Because it's closer to the sun.
Energy which is a result of an object's height above the earth is?
Energy which is a result of an object's height above the earth is potential energy.
What type of rock can form deep Earth's surface or above Earth's surface?
igneous
Why is earth's surface warmer in the northern hemisphere when it is summer there?
Cause the sun is facing there
