How does convention occur in the troposphere

Biology

vitfil [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The troposphere is the region that covers a vertical height of about 10-15 km from the surface of the earth. In this region as the height increases, temperature decreases. This means that within the troposphere, the temperature and height are inversely proportional to each other.

The different parts of the earth receive different amounts of sunlight. The land area gets heated up more readily in comparison to the oceans because it directly absorbs the heat energy. Whereas the surface of the ocean acts as a reflector, reflecting heat. So it warms and cools at a much slower rate. Due to this unequal heating of the earth's surface, the wind is generated.

The air molecules are densely packed near the earth's surface and loosely packed in the upper part of the troposphere. So due to the high heat, the air near the surface gets heated up, becomes less dense and rises up. As it reaches the upper part of the troposphere, it eventually cools and sinks. This continuous motion of air molecules forms a convection current within the troposphere region.

Convection causes heating in troposphere because it drops in temperature with altitude, but has a relatively high density of air. The stratosphere has no weather because convection cannot happen because the air gets hotter in this layer as you go up in altitude.

I need a little help (I'll give you brainliest), What is the problem with having plant life on Mars, and what is the solution to
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The problem: Under Martian gravity, the soil can hold more water than on Earth, and water and nutrients within the soil would drain away more slowly. Some conditions would make it difficult for plants to grow on Mars. For example, Mars's extremely cold temperatures make life difficult to sustain.

Scientists have conducted plant experiments simulating Martian conditions using volcanic soil in Hawaii, which is known for its similarity to Martian soil. These experiments found that plants can actually grow in these soils.

There are other aspects future Mars explorers will need to consider when growing plants on that planet. As mentioned earlier, Mars’s atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide, and plants need this gas just as much as we need oxygen to breathe.

Current treatment for wilms' tumor includes __________.
liraira [26]
Current treatment for Wilms' tumor includes Surgery and radiation. 
Wilms tumor is a type of cancer that starts in the kidneys.  It is the most common type of cancer in children. It is a rare kidney cancer that primarily affects children. Surgery treatment to remove the tumor is the first treatment if it can be done, followed by radiation therapy. The entire abdomen will be treated if there is still some cancer left after surgery. If the cancer has spread to the lungs, low doses of radiation might also be given to that area.
