The atmosphere consists of 4 layers: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere. This is the layer where we live and where weather happens. Temperature in this layer generally decreases with height. The boundary between the stratosphere and the troposphere is called the tropopause. Above the tropopause lies the stratosphere. In this layer the temperature increases with height. This is because the stratosphere houses the ozone layer. The ozone layer is warm because it absorbs ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. The mesosphere is the layer above the stratosphere.This layer also contains ratios of nitrogen and oxygen similar to the troposphere, except the concentrations are 1000 times less and there is little water vapor there, so the air is too thin for weather to occur. The thermosphere is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere. In this layer the temperature increases with height because it is being directly heated by the sun.
I got this info from North Carolina Climate Office.
Hope this helps!!
Answer:
only about 20% - 35%
Explanation:
We do not know that much about the earth itself, and people just recently started discovering the earth for what it truly is. Though, we have been recording earthquakes and tsunamis since the early 19th century.
This makes up anywhere from 20% to 35%. It is hard to know the exact percentage for sure.
Answer:
The correct response is that it accurately depicts Option D: the coasts of Western Europe and Africa.
Explanation:
The Piri Reis is a map dated about 1513 and it was developed by an admiral and cartographer of the same name, Peri Reis. It is significant because it shows a very early interest in world exploration but there are several inaccuracies evident. The southern tip of South America is not accurate nor is the coastline in North America except for what might be Newfoundland. The most accurate parts of the map are the coasts of Western Europe and North Africa, and the coastline of Brazil is also fairly accurate across the Atlantic.
The answer is d I took the test
