Going upward from the surface, it is the point where air ceases to cool with height, and becomes almost completely dry. More formally, the tropopause is the region of the atmosphere where the environmental lapse rate changes from positive, as it behaves in the troposphere, to the stratospheric negative one. Following is the exact definition used by the World Meteorological Organization:

The boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere, where an abrupt change in lapse rate usually occurs. It is defined as the lowest level at which the lapse rate decreases to 2 °C/km or less, provided that the average lapse rate between this level and all higher levels within 2 km does not exceed 2 °C/km.[1] for example

Write an argumentative essay which says without photosynthesis there is no life

AysviL [449]

Explanation:

you could include the points such as,

--> photosynthesis produces O2 which is necessary for respiration.

-->photosynthesis reduces the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere as it uses it up in the reaction. this controls the atmospheric rate of CO2 and reduced the greenhouse effect.

--> plants are the primary producers in a food chain and so, photosynthesis plays a primary role in the stability of food chains as they're the primary source of glucose as all the higher consumption is based off the producer.

--> virtually seeing, all the energy within the biosphere is based off plants that depends on photosynthesis.

--> If photosynthesis ceased, there would soon be little food or other organic matter on Earth, most organisms would disappear, and Earth's atmosphere would eventually become nearly devoid of gaseous oxygen.

there could be more but this is all I could think of.

hope it helps. :)

Which process produces oxygen?

Nookie1986 [14]

Photosynthesis. Oxygen is a by-product of the photosynthetic process. The light-dependent reactions use H 2 O and produce O 2.
