How far does the stratosphere extend above earth's surface?
30 feet above sea level and 50 feet above earths surface... science homework these days
A gas in the atmosphere that varies between zero and four percent in different places?
Oxygen is a gas in the atmosphere that varies between zero and four percent in different places. It is crucial for supporting life through the process of respiration.
What influences the direction in which the wind moves?
Wind flows from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. The Coriolis effect influences wind direction by deflecting its path to the right in the Northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern hemisphere.
The physical universe consists of all known matter, energy, and space existing in interconnected systems. It includes planets, stars, galaxies, and other celestial bodies bound by the forces of gravity and governed by physical laws. Scientists continue to explore and study the vast complexities and mysteries of the physical universe.
What is the high speed stream of particles beating against the outer layer of earths atmosphere?
That is the solar wind, which consists of charged particles emitted by the sun. These particles interact with Earth's magnetic field and can cause phenomena like auroras and disruptions in satellite communications.
Does cutting down forests limit the amount of carbon that is removed from the atmosphere?
Yes, cutting down forests (deforestation) means the trees can no longer remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. To combat this we have to replant the forests (reforestation) to reduce levels of greenhouse gases.
How does water vapour become rain?
Water from the ocean is evaporated by the sun, The hot water vapor rises and expands because there is less air pressure higher in the sky , then furhter inland, the water condences into clouds and falls down as rain (or precipitaion). Its called the water cycle
What percent of radiation is lost before reaching earth's surface?
So 50% of the sun's radiation is lost before it reaches earth's surface.
See the diagram link below.
Temperatures decrease in the third layer of the atmosphere the what?
Temperatures decrease in the third layer of the atmosphere, the mesosphere, because it is where the majority of solar radiation is absorbed by the lower layers of the atmosphere. As a result, the mesosphere has less warming from the sun and experiences cooling due to the decreasing density of air molecules with height.
What is a rock called that crashes into earths atmosphere?
A rock that enters Earth's atmosphere is called a meteoroid. Upon entering the atmosphere, it is then known as a meteor, popularly referred to as a shooting star. If it survives the journey and lands on Earth's surface, it is called a meteorite.
In which group are the spheres of the earth listed in order of increasing density?
The spheres of the Earth listed in order of increasing density are the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The inner core is the densest layer of the Earth.
The earth is warm because of the sun. That is pretty obvious. But, more specifically, the sun lets off radiation waves that go through the atmosphere, some being absorbed by the ozone in the stratosphere, others absorbed by the dust and clouds in the air, some reflected back into the air, but most absorbed by the land and water on the earth's surface. The water lets off heat into the air through convection - the transfer of heat through fluids. The solid ground lets off inferred rays which also contributes to the warming of the air. That is how earth is warmed. :)
Is the Amazon rainforest the largest rainforest in the world?
Yes, the Amazon rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world. It spans multiple countries in South America, including Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and others. It is known for its incredible biodiversity and plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate.
What percent of Earth's atmosphere does titanium make up?
Only if it was intentionally or accidentally taken into the atmosphere as part of a space exploration. Usually it's a earth-bound or animal-derived mineral that's too heavy to exist as a "free", airborne element.
What effect would over-logging of trees have on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Over-logging of trees means that they can no longer remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This has actually happened and levels of carbon dioxide are building up in the atmosphere causing global warming.
How much Hydrogen is in the Earths atmosphere?
This Question has not been answered yet.

Is Mercury atmosphere thick or thin?
mercury's atmosphere is thin so sound waves don't travel very well and there is little oxygen.
What things are made up of air?
Dry air is primarily made up of nitrogen (78.09%) and oxygen (20.95%). The remaining 1% is made up of argon (0.93%), carbon dioxide (0.03%) and other trace gases (0.003%). Water vapour (water in its gaseous state) is also present in air in varying amounts.
What Accounts for the large diversity of silicates?
The large diversity of silicates can be attributed to the variations in the chemical composition, structure, and bonding of silicon and oxygen atoms, as well as the presence of other elements in the mineral structure. Different combinations of these factors lead to a wide range of silicate minerals with unique properties and characteristics. Additionally, external factors such as pressure, temperature, and geological processes contribute to the formation of diverse silicate minerals.
You need to say something is obsolete. For example: A tree is a dancing fairy. Its saying something is something.
Does all weather take place in the troposphere?
No, not all weather takes place in the troposphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere where most weather occurs, but weather phenomena can also take place in other atmospheric layers, such as the stratosphere and mesosphere.
Which spheres are zones of Earth's atmosphere?
The Earth's atmosphere is divided into five main layers or spheres: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Each sphere has unique characteristics in terms of temperature, composition, and function.
The kinetic-molecular theory explains that there is more pressure at lower altitudes because there are more obstacles for the gas molecules to run into and create more pressure. They collide with the walls of their container as well as other molecules. And at higher altitudes, there is more space for the gas molecules to travel and not bump into things therefore not as much pressure is created. Also, some extra info: the atmosphere is denser closer to the Earth's surface because the weight of atmospheric gases at any elevation compresses the gases below.
My interpretation is that when everything is good a serene we forget jesus or our god we forget that he's the reason why for the sight or good feeling you may have but when things get bad and you feel like theres a storm cluster over your head that's when you remember him that's when you cry out to him and that is a flaw us believers have in common
Who is the new president of PAGASA?
The president of the PAGASA is Prisco Nilo. He joined the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration in 1984 and was appointed the present position in 2007.
