One of the least-known ecosystems on Earth is the ocean depths. Since it is difficult to send probes to the ocean floor, we are ignorant about much of its ecology, despite the ocean covering approximately 71% of the earth's surface....
Soon they all forgot that they came from the same father, a Programmer. A simple and peaceful scientist that just wanted to make the world a better place. They started fighting each other, claiming that each of them is true descendant of “The Programmer” and that their blood is more pur...
What is the bottom of a tornado called? What kind of weather is associated with high pressure? Which of the following is true of hurricanes in the Western Atlantic: A. They are generally called cyclones or typhoons in this part of the world. B. The peak months of occurrence are from Aug...
1. Troposphere: This is the lowest layer where weather occurs and where we live. It extends from the Earth's surface up to about 8-15 kilometers. 2. Stratosphere: Above the troposphere, this layer contains the ozone layer, which protects us from harmful UV radiation. It extends from about...
Midlatitude weather is characterized by mobile cyclones and anticyclones that cause meandering of the jet stream (transient Rossby waves) in the upper troposphere. The degree of the jet's meander is related to the severity of weather anomaly. Here we use a fluid dynamical metric called local wav...
Electromagnetic waves entering Earth's atmosphere from space arebent by refraction. Atmospheric refraction is greatest for signals near the horizon where they come in at the lowest angle. The apparent altitude of the signal source can be on the order of half a degree higher than its true height...
It is a basic tenet of climatology and meteorology that the troposphere(the whole atmosphere between the earth's surface and the tropopause 15 kilometres above)is a `well-mixed layer', due to all the atmospheric turbulence which we know as `weather'. Due to this mixing, any tendency toward...
The atmosphere of the earth is the layer of gases that surrounds the earth, and it has many layers and is composed of various gases. The layer of the atmosphere that we breathe, which is closest to the earth, is the troposphere.
What is the cause of the conductivity of an atmosphere? What causes sunspots? What causes wind to blow? What prevents atmospheric gases from flying off into space? The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere that a) contains the ozone layer. b) satellites fly in. c) produces weather. ...
Yes, the Earth's atmosphere is divided into layers based on temperature gradients, including the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere, each playing a distinct role in Earth's climate and weather systems. 8 How do layers and levels interact in video games? In video ...
