Answer 1

Interesting Atmosphere Facts:

The atmosphere is made up of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and smaller amounts of argon, carbon dioxide, helium, and neon.

Contaminants in the atmosphere can include smoke, toxic gasses, dust, ash from volcanoes, and salt.

Roughly 80% of the weight of the atmosphere is located in the troposphere, which is the layer closest to the earth.

The troposphere reaches approximately 12km from the earth's surface and is the thinnest layer.

The stratosphere reaches 50km from the earth's surface.

#4. The Atmosphere Extends 6,200 Miles into Space

#5. It Protects Us from Meteors

#6. There are five layers within the atmosphere

#7. The atmosphere surrounds the planet, protecting it by absorbing the ultraviolet radiation from the sun, and regulating the temperature extremes that would otherwise occur between day and night.

#8. The troposphere lies closest to the Earth and is about 11 miles thick

#9. Blood Boils After 60,000 Feet into the atmoshpere

During the daytime, the land warms up faster than water causing the air above the land to be less dense and rise into the atmosphere. What will this cause?

Answers

Answer:

The faster warming of the earth than water that causes the air above the land to be less dense and rise into the atmosphere will result in Sea breezes

Explanation:

Land and Sea breezes are phenomena which occur through the heat transfer process of convection.

Sea breezes occur mostly during the hot summer afternoons because of the unequal heating of land and water. During the day, both the land and sea receives equal amounts of heat from the sun, but,  the land surface heats up faster than the water surface. Therefore, the air above the land becomes heated up more and is warmer than the air above the ocean. The air above the land to become less dense and as result, the warm air rises into the atmosphere.  However, at the ocean surface, the air above is is colder and hence, denser than the warm air over the land surface. Thus, the air pressure at the ocean surface is greater than at the earth's surface. As the warm air over the land is rising, a convection current is set up and the cooler air over the ocean flows with the aid of the wind and replaces the warm air from earth's surface. This is known as sea breeze.

How do mountains affect the climate of a region?

(giving brainlist)

Answers

On the windward sides of mountain ranges, they raise precipitation. When they move toward land, they cause cold, moist air from the oceans to rise. On the leeward sides of mountain ranges, they reduce precipitation totals.

(Hope this helps!!!) Can I pls have a brainliest??

Answer:

As context, there are two sides of a mountain range:

A) The windward side

B) The leeward side

As mountains are tall, they block clouds which are in the troposphere. All the moisture thus falls onto the windward side, while almost none of the moisture from the rain gets to the leeward side.

In a nutshell, mountain ranges create barriers for precipitation which blocks off moisture to the leeward side, creating deserts.

This is why you see mountain ranges near deserts.

Evolution means change in the physical features of an organism.

Explanation:

Evolution means change in the physical features of an organism. Evolution occurs in the population of an organisms due to various factors such as mutation, non-random mating and natural selection. Nonrandom mating occurs when an organism prefer mating with particular superior organisms or with the similar organism. Mutation in the genetic makeup of an organism is also responsible evolution. this mutation occurs when an organism experience ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or also occur if an error in DNA during cell division. Gene flow is also known as gene migration is the transfer of genetic material or traits from one population to another when the organism is migrated to another environment. Some organisms are selected naturally because they have the potential to survive in that environment so they survive and that doesn't adopt itself to the environment, it will extinct from the environment.
