The Martian atmosphere is composed of ~96% CO2, but the greenhouse effect is much less than that on Earth. (a) Explain what the

greenhouse effect is on Earth and (b) Use the value of the solar constant on Mars (600 W m) and a typical surface air density on Mars (0.02 kg m) to provide two reasons why the greenhouse effect is less on Mars than on Earth. -2

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • As the martin air composed of 96% of carbon dioxide and some parts of methane but this greenhouse effect is much less as compared to that of the earth as on earth the greenhouse gases are not as rugged and as profound as they are on the martian surfaces  and hence they are more intact and well produced in mars dry and rocky environment.
  • The more is the greenhouse gas concentration the more is the planets lots of co2 is wrapped in the oceans and ice layers that are trapped into the air keeping the air warm and dry.
  • Having a thin and less dense atmosphere than the earth this planet experiences drastic temperature changes thus the greenhouse effects are less profound on earth. Mars experiences frequent temperature changes and dense storm surges also.

What are the four different cloud groups and how are they classified?
lara31 [8.8K]
1. High clouds—composed almost entirely of ice crystals, the bases of these clouds start at 16,500 feet (5,032 meters) and reach 45,000 feet (13,725 meters).

2. Cirrus —thin feather-like crystal clouds in patches or narrow bands. The large ice crystals that often trail downward in well-defined wisps are called mare's tails.

3. Cirrostratusis—a thin, white cloud layer that resembles a veil or sheet. This layer can be striated or fibrous. Because of the ice content, these clouds are associated with the halos that surround the sun or moon.

<span>4. Cirrocumulus—thin clouds that appear as small white flakes or cotton patches and may contain super-cooled water.</span>

How are weathering and erosion similar? how are they different?
sukhopar [10]

Weathering is related to the breaking down and loosening of rock or soil into smaller pieces, but the weathered pieces remain in place. Erosion is related to the movement of weathered (and sometimes non-weathered) pieces away from the source.
