Troposphere
The troposphere starts at the Earth's surface and extends 8 to 14.5 kilometers high (5 to 9 miles). This part of the atmosphere is the most dense. Almost all weather is in this region.
Stratosphere
The stratosphere starts just above the troposphere and extends to 50 kilometers (31 miles) high. The ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters the solar ultraviolet radiation, is in this layer.
Mesosphere
The mesosphere starts just above the stratosphere and extends to 85 kilometers (53 miles) high. Meteors burn up in this layer
Thermosphere
The thermosphere starts just above the mesosphere and extends to 600 kilometers (372 miles) high. Aurora and satellites occur in this layer.
Ionosphere
The ionosphere is an abundant layer of electrons and ionized atoms and molecules that stretches from about 48 kilometers (30 miles) above the surface to the edge of space at about 965 km (600 mi), overlapping into the mesosphere and thermosphere. This dynamic region grows and shrinks based on solar conditions and divides further into the sub-regions: D, E and F; based on what wavelength of solar radiation is absorbed. The ionosphere is a critical link in the chain of Sun-Earth interactions. This region is what makes radio communications possible.
Exosphere
This is the upper limit of our atmosphere. It extends from the top of the thermosphere up to 10,000 km (6,200 mi).
Heating of the Earth due to the Sun's rays causes convection currents of air upwards. The warm air moves upwards, while cool air from nearby regions fills in the lower areas.
<span>Heating of the Earth can cause warm water currents that flow from hot areas like near the equator and tropical areas, while cold water currents flow from the arctic and antarctic regions and the temperate regions. </span>
Answer:
The marginal cost of increasing production from 5,000 units to 6,000 would be $1,000 / 500.
Explanation:
Answer:
an experiment
Explanation: Any experiment you do to benefit the world in the name of science
Question options:
1. developing a hypothesis to explain collected data
2. proving a theory and writing a new scientific law
3. collecting data through observation and measurement
4. observing and experimenting to test a hypothesis
Answer:
2. proving a theory and writing a new scientific law
Explanation:
Providing a theory and write a new scientific law is not a step of scientific investigation. To prove a law a theory, its take many years of research.
There are steps of scientific investigations below,
1. Make an Observation.
2. Form a Question.
3. Form a Hypothesis.
4. Conduct an Experiment.
5. Analyze the Data and
6. Draw a Conclusion.
These step of scientific investigation does not include to write a theory and scientific law.
