Greenhouse effect is the process of trapping sun radiation in the earth surface, so as to make the planet warm. It is a natural phenomenon in which sun rays that enters the earth surface are re-radiated into the earth surface causing the heat trap in the earth.
In similar manner, green house also trap radiation inside the glass house. The sun rays once reach inside the glass house, strike on plants and objects and reflected back. For entire radiation to escape from the green house, the heat flow between the two points must be proportional to the temperature difference and thermal conductivity. The glass of which the green house are made up, have low thermal conductivity. So, temperature must rise inside glass house so to maintain the heat flow rate of incoming and outgoing radiation.
The green house glass are insulated and they trap the infrared emitted by the objects inside the green house from escaping outside. Since the infrared have longer wave lengths, it is released slowly. 

Also, the thermal energy inside the glass house are transferred by convection process. But the glass walls and roof act as insulator, keeping the radiant energy from escaping outside the green house.<span />

What term describes the process of lowering the boiling point of a hydrocarbon by exposing it to different environmental treatme
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Cracking.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a reaction in which two or more atoms of a chemical element react to form a chemical compound. An example of a chemical reaction involving hydrocarbons is cracking.

Hydrocarbon can be defined as an organic compound that comprises of hydrogen and carbon only.

In Organic chemistry, cracking refers to the process of lowering the boiling point of a heavy, complex or long-chain hydrocarbon such as kerogens by exposing it to different environmental treatments such as hydrogen enriched catalysts, pressure or high temperatures, in order to produce smaller, lighter and more useful molecules (alkanes and alkenes) such as gasoline, diesel fuel, etc.

Which of the following can explain the daily change in sea level observed along a coast?
salantis [7]
The answer for the question above is A. the gravitational pull of the moon on the water near the coast. The sun and and the moon are responsible for the rising and falling of the ocean tides. The gravitational pull of the moon and the sun makes the water in the oceans bulge, causing a continuous change between high and low tide.

An atom has 81 electrons, 84 neutrons, and 82 protons. What element is this atom?
posledela

Answer:

Lead

Explanation:

The subatomic particles within an atom can be used to know the atom or element given.

Of particular interest is the number of protons within the atom.

The periodic table is based on the atomic number of atoms. This atomic number is the number of protons within an atomic space.

So; If we know the number of protons within an atom, we can know the element.

The number of protons given is 82, the element is  therefore lead.
