The warming effects of greenhouse gases have been unsuccessfully modeled by placing air, pure carbon dioxide, methane, and nitro

us oxide in sealed jars and measuring temperature change within the jars when exposed to a light source. Apply your knowledge of greenhouse gases to explain why this approach is inappropriate for modeling how greenhouse gases retain heat in Earth's atmosphere?

Explanation:

Green house effect occurs when the wavelenght of the infrared radiation in the incident solar radiation, looses some of its energy on reflection from the earth surface, making it longer and unable to pass through the greenhouse gases that act like a blanket around the earth.

The reflected radiation has a longer wavelenght because it looses energy to the earth as heat; leaving it with a new wavelenght too long to go through the greenhouse gases.

The jar envoirment does not provide the earth-like material that can absorbs some of the energy of the incident radiation so it goes out with relatively the same energy. Also, the refractive index of the green house gases and the glass used in the lab might not be the same so modeling it with a glass might not produce the same effect.

Finally, the light source used might not contain enough infrared energy as an incident solar radiation.

Give an example of rocks that are not formed by the rock cycle.
juin [17]
Coral limestone are examples of rocks whose formation is not explained by the rock cycle. Corals are tiny marine organisms that absorb carbon dioxide dissolved in sea water and use this to secrete hard skeletons of calcium carbonate. These organisms can build massive reef structures over the course of thousands of years.

What is the Milky Way, and how is it related to the solar system?
kari74 [83]

Answer:

The Milky Way is one of the many galaxies in the solar system. It includes billions of stars (including our most important one, our sun), eight planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune), dwarf planets (a famous one, Pluto), and moons. They also have asteroids, meteors, comets, etc. The Milky Way is related to the solar system because the solar system consisting of all the planets, stars, and moons are in the galaxy.

How does the shape of the seabed affect the way the tsunami impacts the coast (like in Sumatra)​
TEA [102]

Explanation:

As a tsunami leaves the deep water of the open ocean and travels into the shallower water near the coast, it transforms and travels at a speed that is related to the water depth and hence as the water depth decreases, the tsunami slows down. As a tsunami approaches shore or land it begins to slow and grow in height.In the coastal areas, a tsunami may appear as huge wall of water coming towards the coast. With its tremendous energy, the fast moving waves can crush houses and other structures in the coastal areas. Most of the deaths caused by a tsunami are due to drowning.
