Answer:

Venus: almost no surface winds, sulfuric acid clouds, runaway greenhouse effect.

Earth: atmosphere composed primarily of nitrogen and ultraviolet-absorbing stratosphere

Mars: extremely low-density atmosphere, global dust storms.

Explanation:

  • The atmosphere of Venus produces a very intense greenhouse effect, which explains that the planet's surface temperature varies slightly around 470ºC - warmer than Mercury, although it is almost twice the distance from the Sun.
  • The atmosphere on Mars is essentially carbon dioxide (95%), nitrogen (less than 3%) and argon (less than 2%), with oxygen being only trace - not surprising given that oxygen from the Earth is essentially a product of life and not its cause. This atmosphere is very faint (less than 1% of normal atmospheric pressure on Earth) although it is dense enough to allow strong winds that raise real sandstorms that cover almost the entire planet.
  • The Earth's atmosphere is composed of gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen, the earth's atmosphere performs important functions such as protecting the earth from ultraviolet rays harmful to living beings and maintaining the average temperature of the earth, avoiding large thermal amplitudes between the earth. Day and night. Thanks to the atmosphere, life is possible on the planet.

Explain how Earths hydrosphere and atmosphere interact during a hurricane formation.
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The very warm ocean waters warm the air above them and evaporate very large amounts of water vapor. This water vapor is the fuel for a hurricane as it strengthens via the latent heat released by condensation of the vast amounts of water vapor.

If globes are better at showing the Earth accurately, why do we still use maps?
vredina [299]

Answer:

Even though globes are showing Earth more accurately, the maps are still used because they are more practical.

Explanation:

Earth is generally shown with two methods, one being the maps (map projections) and the other being globes. Both are used and will be used, as both have several advantages, but also several disadvantages. Despite globes being closer and more accurate in their representation of Earth, the maps are still used because they are much more practical.

The globes show Earth very close to its true form, though they are made as a ball, not as an ellipsoid. Anyhow, the globes don't have distortions of areas, so the sizes and locations are accurate on them. On the other hand, globes are highly impractical because of their shape, as they are don't often fit in standard backpacks or bags, and can easily be broken or damaged. Also, we can not see the entire Earth at any moment, so it is hard to make comparisons by using them.

The maps, on the other side, do have inaccuracies, mostly by having distortions, be it around the Equator or around the poles. Despite this, they have a relatively good accuracy that in most cases is enough for practical usage. Also, their form and weight make them easy to use, move from place to place, and the entire world can be seen at the same time, thus they are very practical when it comes to making comparisons.
