How does convention occur in the troposphere

Biology

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.

(04.01 LC) Which level of organization is formed from two or more different tissues that group together and perform a function?
Colt1911 [192]

The correct answer is the organ.  

The multicellular species are formed of various parts, which are required for survival. These parts are differentiated into the levels of the organization. There are five different levels, which are named as cells, tissue, organs, organ systems, and organisms.  

When two or more layers of tissue function together, they produce an organ. All the animals comprise vital organs, without which they cannot survive. These include the kidneys, liver, lungs, brain, and heart.

Explain what maria and craters are and how they formed. best answer will be marked as brainlest plz help.
Katen [24]
Lunar maria (plural form of the Latin word mare, which means sea) are dark surfaces that can be found all over the moon (17% of the Moon is covered in them) that have been created as a result of volcanic eruptions. These areas are made up of basalt, and given that they seemed almost waterlike, the astronomers in the distant past mistook them for seas, whence their name comes.
When it comes to craters, their origin is quite similar - volcanic eruptions created them. When lava starts erupting from a volcano, it has to get out from somewhere - and thus craters are created. If you are referring to lunar craters, however, there are many speculations as to how they were created: due to volcanic eruptions, meteoric impact, or glacier activity.
