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.

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A source from which organisms generally take elements is called exchange pool (option B).

Explanation:

Options for this question are:

  • <em>Food web.</em>
  • <em>Exchange pool.</em>
  • <em>Reservoir.</em>
  • <em>Biotic community.</em>

The term exchange pool is related to the biogeochemical cycles that exist in nature, referring to the source from which elements present in the environment become part of living organisms.

<u>Exchange pools are the biotic components</u> -like animals and plants- of an ecosystem, which determine the passage of elements between living beings. An element can remain as a reservoir (abiotic) in the soil, and then be incorporated into the exchange pool.
