21) What wavelength does the Earth emit most of its radiation at, and what is the name of that radiation region?
melomori [17]

Answer:

<u>Longwave terrestrial radiation at the night time, in the of infrared rays.</u>

Explanation:

  • As the short wave solar radiation or the visible light containing lots of energy the longwave radiation of the earth contains infrared that has less energy. As the solar radiation that enters our atmosphere in the form of UV rays, and sun emits these short waves as they are extremely hot and hence have lots of energy to give off.
  • As parts of incoming solar are absorbed by the earth's surface features and rest of is reflected into the atmosphere by cloud cover and the energy that falls on the ground is reradiated back to the sun as the earth is cooler at night and less energy is given off.
  • Hence the atmosphere tires to balance the incoming energy from the sun in the form of a heat budget and a greenhouse effect.

Which summarizes the relationship between density of an element and its distribution in Earth?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

C. The greater an element's density, the smaller the amount of it found in the crust

Explanation:

The layering of the Earth happened because of the different densities of the elements from which it was made. The denser elements started to sink deeper, the elements with medium density occupied the central part, and the elements with the smallest density remained at the surface. This resulted in the formation of the three basic layers of the Earth, core, mantle and crust. The core is composed of the densest elements, the mantle of the ones with medium density, and the crust from the ones with smallest density.

Evaluate the impact of global warming on the frequency of tropical cyclones
LekaFEV [45]
Climate change can worsen the intensity of tropical storms (such as hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones) in several ways, including by making record rainfall more likely and by causing sea levels to rise, which can raise the risk of storm surges.

How does precipitation changes with latitude and altitude
wel

Answer:

Explanation:

precipitation decreases as latitude increases toward the poles (since how much precipitation air can hold depends largely on its temperature, and depending on the seasons higher latitudes are typically colder).
