The first way that the atmosphere protects Earth is that it acts like a blanket on the Earth trapping the heat inside to make sure the planets is warm enough to sustain life. The atmosphere also though, shields the Earth from the Sun's harsh rays. The second way the atmosphere protects Earth is because it provides oxygen for people to breathe AND carbon dioxide for the plants. Then through the water cycle, living organisms can receive water.

What is typical production rate of the world ocean if the age of water mass is 2000 yrs and the surface area is 3.62 1014 m2 and

telo118 [61]

Answer:

production rate = 6.75 × $10^{14}$ m³/yr

Explanation:

given data

age of water mass = 2000 yr

surface area = 3.62 × $10^{14}$ m²

average depth = 3730 m

to find out

What is typical production rate of the world ocean

solution

we know that production rate formula that is express as

production rate = $\frac{volume }{time}$ .......................1

we know that volume = area × thickness

so put here value in equation 1

production rate = $\frac{3.62*10^{14} *3730 }{2000}$

production rate = 6.75 × $10^{14}$ m³/yr

the warming of the earth due to buildup of carbon dioxide and other gases that help trap energy is termed the greenhouse effect.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

The warming of the Earth due to buildup of carbon dioxide and other gases that help trap energy is termed the greenhouse effect.

Because the exchange of incoming and outgoing radiation that warms the earth because heat trapped is close to Earth's surface by “greenhouse gases.” These heat-trapping gases can be thought of as a blanket wrapped around Earth, keeping the planet toastier than it would be without them.

Green house gases:

1) Carbon dioxide (CO2)

2) Methane (CH4)

3) Nitrous oxide (N2O)

4) Industrial gases:

a) Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)

b) Perfluorocarbons (PFCs)

c) Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)

d) Nitrogen trifluoride (NF3)

The concentration of greenhouse gases is increasing in large part because of the combustion of fossil fuels. Key sources of chlorofluorocarbons are solvents, refrigerants, and propellants.
