Answer:

Argon and Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Although both nitrogen and oxygen are essential to human life on the planet, they have little effect on weather and other atmospheric processes. The variable components, which make up far less than 1 percent of the atmosphere, have a much greater influence on both short-term weather and long-term climate. For example, variations in water vapor in the atmosphere are familiar to us as relative humidity. Water vapor, CO2, CH4, N2O, and SO2 all have an important property: They absorb heat emitted by Earth and thus warm the atmosphere, creating what we call the "greenhouse effect."

In addition to gases, the atmosphere also contains particulate matter such as dust, volcanic ash, rain, and snow. These are, of course, highly variable and are generally less persistent than gas concentrations, but they can sometimes remain in the atmosphere for relatively long periods of time.

Match each statement with a layer of the atmosphere. There will be two statements for each layer.

LuckyWell [14K]

The troposphere:

H. This layer can have thunderstorms or clear, sunny skies.

A. The biosphere interacts most with this layer.

The stratosphere:

B. It is the second layer from Earth's surface.

G. Winds are strong and steady in this layer.

The mesosphere:

E. It is heated by the ozone layer beneath it.

D. This layer is where most meteor showers occur.

The thermosphere :

F. It contains the ionosphere and exosphere.

C. It contains layers of single, unmixed gas.

Explanation:

Depending on the Earth's temperature the atmosphere can be separated into layers. The troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere and the thermosphere are those layers. The lowest layer is named as Troposphere (0-10 km from the Earth outer surface), it comprises about 75% of the atmosphere's total air and nearly most the water vapor.

Stratosphere (10-30) includes much of the surface ozone. The change in height temperature arises as this ozone absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The temperature in Mesosphere (30-50 Km) declines again with height, hitting a minimum of about -90 ° C at the "mesopause." Above this thermosphere (50-400 Km) is settled which is a area where temperatures rise with height once again. The penetration of intense UV and X-ray radiation from the sun induces this temperature rise.

What does the roman numeral stand for in copper(1) oxide should it not be copper(II) oxide

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The roman numeral in copper(I) oxide indicates that the oxidation number of copper in the compound is 1.

Explanation:

Roman numeral is used to indicate the oxidation number of an element in a compound.

The roman numeral in copper(I) oxide indicates that the oxidation number of copper in the compound is 1.

This can be seen from the following illustration:

copper(I) oxide => Cu₂O

Oxidation number of O = –2

Oxidation number of Cu₂O = 0

Oxidation number of Cu =?

Cu₂O = 0

2Cu + O = 0

2Cu – 2 = 0

Collect like terms

2Cu = 0 + 2

2Cu = 2

Divide both side by 2

Cu = 2/2

Cu = 1

Thus, we can see that the oxidation number of Cu in Cu₂O is 1. Hence the name of Cu₂O is copper(I) oxide indicating that the oxidation number of of copper (Cu) in the compound is 1.

For copper(II) oxide, we shall determine the oxidation number of Cu. This can be obtained as follow:

copper(II) oxide, CuO => CuO

Oxidation number of O = –2

Oxidation number of CuO = 0

Oxidation number of Cu =?

CuO = 0

Cu + O = 0

Cu – 2 = 0

Collect like terms

Cu = 0 + 2

Cu = 2

Thus, the oxidation number of Cu in CuO is 2. Hence the name of CuO is copper(II) oxide indicating that the oxidation number of of copper (Cu) in the compound is 2.

From the above illustrations,

We can see that the roman numeral in both copper(I) oxide, Cu₂O and copper(II) oxide, CuO are different because the oxidation number of Cu in both cases are different.

This is the term for the weather patterns that an area experiences over a long period of time? A) climate. B) weather. C) availa

Rufina [12.5K]

The correct option is A.
Climate refers to the long time pattern of weather condition in a particular area. Climate is measured by assessing the patterns of variation in temperature, relative humidity, wind, atmospheric pressure, precipitation and other meteorological variables in a given area over a long period of time.
