rth's surface comes primarily in the form of __________. visible light from the Sun heat from the Sun ultraviolet light from the Sun infrared light from the Sun heat from Earth's interior
The visible light is known to be a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen with naked eyes. It is a form of electromagnetic radiation.
Other forms of the electromagnetic radiation are the infrared and ultraviolet.
The visible light is found or falls within the range of electromagnetic radiation spectrum between the infrared and ultraviolet.
Among the electromagnetic radiation, the visible light is the portion that supplies the energy which warms the earth's surface.
Visible light from the sun also known as sunlight is responsible for warming the earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere through infrared radiation. When sunlight is absorbed by an object, the object converts the short wavelength light into long wavelength heat. This in turn makes the object become warm. Both the land and water reflects back some of the radiation to warm to atmosphere and objects found there.
The major source of energy that reaches the Earth’s surface comes from the Sun. Around 44% of solar radiation is in the visible light wavelengths, but the Sun also emits infrared, ultraviolet, and other wavelengths.
So, the energy that warms the earth primarily comes from visible light of the sun.
The changing ocean currents lead to climate cooling by bringing cooler breezes to places with higher climates. The cool breezes push the warm air out and leads to the drop of temperature
Continental/Continental: The Himalayas. The Himalayan mountain range and Tibetan plateau have formed as a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate which began 50 million years ago and continues today.
