The absorption and emission of infrared radiation by gases in the air.
Air density increases with altitude.
In which cycle does rain return liquid water to Earth's surface?
Ice cooling down your hand
Two most common elements that make up Earth's atmosphere.
Layer of the atmosphere that absorbs ultraviolet radiation.
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
What is the transfer of energy from one substance to another by direct contact.
Layer of the atmosphere that we live in.
Animals releasing carbon dioxide into the air is part of this cycle.
Layer of the atmosphere that is most dense.
Touching a hot stove and being burned.
List the following pollutants as either gases (g) or particles (p): dust, ozone, pollen, carbon monoxide, methane
Temperature rises in this layer due to ozone.
Most meteors that enter the atmosphere burn up within this layer.
Hot air balloon
Heat from the Sun warming your face.
56dm = ______ m
Radiation
Heat from a fire
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.
Volcanoes and the burning of fossil fuels which add gases and particles to the air are two sources of this.
