How does the sun's energy help maintain Earth's energy budget?

RoseWind [281]3 years ago

Essentially 100% of the energy that fuels the earth comes from the sun. To maintain a constant global average temperature, all of the sun's radiation that enters Earth's atmosphere must eventually be sent back to space. This is achieved through Earth's energy balance.

58:57 What would most likely happen to life on Earth if the carbon cycle stopped? Life would continue unchanged. Life would ceas
Naddik [55]

Answer: Life would cease to exist.

Explanation:

The carbon elements is one of the most important elements in the compound that make up living organisms. It is found: in the remains of living organisms; as fossil fuels such as coal, coke and natural gas; as inorganic salts such as carbonates; in water bodies and as gas carbondioxide which makes up 0.03% of air.

Carbon is continuously being circulated in the atmosphere through a process called the CARBON CYCLE. This involves the removal and addition of carbon to the carbondioxide in the atmosphere.

Life would indeed cease to exist if this carbon cycle stops due to the importance of carbon to functioning of living organisms. Important processes which bring about the recycling of carbon between living ( biotic) and non living (abiotic) components of an ecosystem are:

--> photosynthesis: the process used by green plants to remove carbon through carbondioxide from the atmosphere for manufacturing of their food.

--> respiration: animals respire to break down sugar leading to liberation of carbondioxide and water as wastes

--> and decay: decomposers feeds on remains and waste to bring about decay, thus complex carbon compounds are broken down to set free carbondioxide which returns to the atmosphere.

All the above processes are carried out by living organisms to maintain a functioning ecosystem by enabling a linear flow of energy through it.

During the late cretaceous, the bisti badlands were home to numerous animals including turtles, crocodiles, and even dinosaurs.
vaieri [72.5K]
These animals were living in an environment with a warm climate that results in changing sea levels. These conditions create a lot of shallow inland seas allowing these animals to thrive. The Cretaceous period is the last period of the Mesozoic area where new groups of mammals, birds, and flowering plants appeared on Earth.

How the combination of electrons, protons ans neutrons results in the neutral charge of an atom?
balandron [24]
Hi :D
Neutrons are neutral so they have no charge. Electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge.
For an atom's charge to be neutral there has to be an even amount of protons and electrons in the atom.
