The forces that move tectonic plates push deep rocks up to Earth's surface, and also push rocks at Earth's surface down to great depths. Tectonic plate motion may also lead to volcanic activity.
hope this helps!
Answer:
The best answer to the question: The greenhouse effect is driven by the fact that greenhouse gases are:___, would be: Good absorbers of radiation at all wavelengths.
Explanation:
Under normal circumstances, the Earth receives energy from the sun and also produces a bit of its own energy. The energy that arrives from the sun is usually known as shortwave radiation, while the energy that is both absorbed by the Earth´s atmosphere, and the energy produced by Earth itself, becomes part of what is known as the longwave radiation. Greenhouse gases, like water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane trap both longwave and shortwave radiation, which should usually be expelled to a certain extent towards space, and maintain them trapped inside the atmosphere. This bouncing effect between the shield created by the gases and the lower atmosphere, should normally be controlled by the amount of atoms of gases in the higher atmosphere. However, in the greenhouse effect, what is happening is that the amount of gases is too high, and therefore they are trapping most of the radiation, both longwave and shortwave, and keeping it in, allowing the climate to warm up.
Soil structure is important for plant growth, regulating the movement of air and water, influencing root development and affecting nutrient availability. Good quality soils are friable (crumbly) and have fine aggregates so the soil breaks up easily if you squeeze it.
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.
