Does radiation therapy effect vertebrae when applied through neck?
It certainly can have wide spread effects, particularly close to the site of radiation.
What is a wing in ground craft?
Is a multimodal craft which, when in its main operational mode, flies in close proximity to the surface by utilising surface effect action
Why can't greenhouse gases go out of the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, can escape into space, but they are primarily trapped in the Earth's atmosphere due to their interactions with infrared radiation. When the Earth emits heat as infrared radiation, these gases absorb and re-radiate it, preventing some of the heat from escaping back into space. This creates a "greenhouse effect," which keeps the planet warm but also leads to climate change when concentrations of these gases increase. Additionally, the gravity of the Earth holds these gases close to the surface, making it difficult for them to disperse into the upper atmosphere and beyond.
Is it warmer when there are clouds in the sky?
Cumulus clouds have a net cooling effect while Cirrus have a net warming effect. At night, most any cloud will make it warmer by trapping radiation (heat) from the earth. During the day, most clouds will act to block solar radiation and make it a little cooler.
Why does smog get trapped in our troposphere?
Smog gets trapped in our troposphere due to a combination of factors such as temperature inversions, lack of wind or air movement, and the presence of pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These factors can lead to the accumulation of pollutants close to the Earth's surface, causing smog to be trapped and linger in the lower atmosphere.
What is it called when a layer of warm air holds polluted air close to the surface of earth?
This is known as a temperature inversion. In this situation, warm air above cooler air near the surface prevents the vertical mixing of air, causing pollutants to be trapped close to the ground and leading to poor air quality.
Do jellyfish live close to the surface or deep in the sea?
close to the surface
Are shiny surfaces poor absorbers and poor emitters for infra-red radiation?
Shiny surfaces are poor absorbers of infrared radiation because they reflect rather than absorb it. However, they can still be good emitters of infrared radiation if they are close to being perfect blackbodies. The reflectivity of the surface plays a significant role in determining its emissivity for infrared radiation.
The primary cause of a radiation inversion is?
The primary cause of a radiation inversion is when the Earth's surface loses heat rapidly at night, causing the air near the surface to cool and become denser. This denser air forms a layer close to the ground, trapping cooler air below and warmer air above, resulting in an inversion layer.
What is the effect on pollution when cool air becomes trapped under warm air?
When cool air becomes trapped under warm air, it creates a temperature inversion which can trap pollutants close to the ground. This can lead to an increase in pollution levels as the pollutants are unable to disperse into the atmosphere.
How far does the nuclear radiation may reached like the case of fukushima japan nuclear blast?
Technically, the radiation will eventually reach the whole surface of the earth. The amounts, however are very small for everywhere except places somewhat close to the plant, too small to have a measurable health effect. Right now, environmental questions about the impact focus mostly on the area within 80 kilometers (50 miles) of the plant.
Why the fishes were swimming close to the surface of the water after feed?
because they want to swim close to the surface
