What is the transfer of energy from one substance to another by direct contact.
The absorption and emission of infrared radiation by gases in the air.
Animals releasing carbon dioxide into the air is part of this cycle.
Fossil Fuels
Radiation
Heat from the Sun warming your face.
Touching a hot stove and being burned.
Hot air balloon
Ice cooling down your hand
Heat from a fire
Layer of the atmosphere that we live in.
Layer of the atmosphere that absorbs ultraviolet radiation.
Layer of the atmosphere that is most dense.
Temperature rises in this layer due to ozone.
Most meteors that enter the atmosphere burn up within this layer.
Air density increases with altitude.
About 50% of solar energy is absorbed by Earth's surface.
Most visible light that enters Earth's atmosphere is reflected back out into space by greenhouse gases
The troposphere, the layer of atmosphere closest to the ground, is heated by Earth's surface through the process of conduction.
If there was less ozone in the atmosphere, more UV radiation would reach Earth's surface because fewer ozone molecules would be present to absorb the solar UV radiation.
Two most common elements that make up Earth's atmosphere.
56dm = ______ m
In which cycle does rain return liquid water to Earth's surface?
Volcanoes and the burning of fossil fuels which add gases and particles to the air are two sources of this.
