The closest layer of the atmosphere is called the Troposphere which extends up to about 7.5 miles into the atmosphere. The next layer is called the Stratosphere which extends from approximately 7.5 miles to 21.1 miles into the atmosphere. The next layer is called the Mesosphere which extends from from 21 miles to 49.7 miles up and the final level is the Thermosphere goes from 49.7 miles up to 195.6 miles into the atmosphere.

How is a waterfall formed?​
matrenka [14]
Often, waterfalls form as streams flow from soft rock to hard rock. This happens both laterally (as a stream flows across the earth) and vertically (as the stream drops in a waterfall). In both cases, the soft rock erodes, leaving a hard ledge over which the stream falls

Why do they pressurize the cabin of airplane at 7,000 ft
n200080 [17]
Hey there! 

Airplanes must be pressurized when flying at high altitudes so that the oxygen levels stay normal for us to breathe. The higher you go up, the thinner the air gets, which causes breathing problems for us humans. 

Thank you!

Coastal climates are usually more moderate than inland climates. This is primarily due to which of water's characteristics? high
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

High specific heat capacity  

Explanation:

For the same temperature change, a body of water (with a high specific heat capacity) can absorb a larger amount of heat than the land (with a small specific heat capacity)

Thus, the seasonal temperature of the sea varies over a relatively narrow range.

However, the temperature of the land shows wider seasonal variations.

In summer, the cooler water keeps land areas relatively cool. In winter, the water is warmer than the land, so it keeps land areas relatively warn.

Thus, coastal climates are usually more moderate than inland climates.  

For example, Winnipeg and St. John's are two Canadian cities close to the 49th parallel.

Winnipeg, in central Canada, has average temperatures of -18 °C in January and 27 °C in July, a range of 45 °C.

The corresponding temperatures for St. John's, 3000 km to the east on the Atlantic coast, are -8 °C and 21 °C, a range of 29 °C
