How does conduction heat the atmosphere

Biology
1 answer:
podryga [215]3 years ago
8 0

Heat from the Earth's core and radiation from the Sun is transferred to the surface of the Earth by conduction. Contact of the atmosphere with these warm surfaces transfers thermal energy, which then heats up the rest of the air through convection.

The atmosphere is also slightly heated by absorption of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun. The warm land and water radiates infrared, some of which is absorbed by the atmosphere, adding to its thermal energy. The remaining heat on the surface is sent out into space in the form of infrared radiation.

Pea plant has many observable characteristics which exist in two forms for example:

  • Plant size (tall or dwarf)
  • Pea color (green or yellow)
  • Pod shape (yellow or green)
  • Flower color (purple or white)
  • Pea shape (round or wrinkled)

Other benefits were like: short life cycle, it produces a good number of offspring in a cross, easy to breed or cross-pollinate, hybrids were liable, bisexual flowers which makes it easy to produce true-breeding etc.
