Which of the following is a variable gas in Earth's Atmosphere? - Answer️️Water Vapor Dust that is floating around your room, would be considered - Answer️️an Aerosol Which statement most accurately describes the stratosphere - Answer️️Ozone in the stratosphere absorbs incoming UC radiation and thus warms Temperature is actually measuring the airs - Answer️️Kinetic Energy Given the four vertical temperatures profiles showing the troposphere and the stratosphere- which is ...

The time between the last 10,000 years and now is known as - the interglacial period Why does the atmosphere increase the temperature of the Earth? - the atmosphere reduces the rate at which radiation escapes (the atmosphere stops heat radiation from quickly escaping the earth, like a blanket) Which of the following data sources informs us that the Earth's climate varied w the orbital (Milankovitch) cycles? - ice cores (contain atmospheric samples from hundreds of thousands of years a...

Photosynthesis vs chemosyntheis - ANS is the process by which producers use solar energy to convert carbon dioxide into glucose vs deep-sea producers uses chemical energy to make organic molecules. Photosynthesis: - ANS is an important mechanism for capturing and storing energy. Plant cells have organelles called chloroplasts, containing the pigment chlorophyll, which are able to capture the solar energy. The solar energy excites electrons in the chlorophyll, triggering a seri...

APES Unit 5: Climate and Land Use Layers of the Atmosphere - correct answer troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. A further region at about 500 km above the Earth's surface is called the exosphere Troposphere - correct answer Closest layer to Earth Densest layer Weather occurs Stratosphere - correct answer Ozone layer: pale blue gas composed of molecules made up of three oxygen atoms (O3) Absorbs UV-B and UV-C radiation Climate varies in different parts of the Ear...
