Due to the chemical composition of the earth's atmosphere, most of the infrared radiation emitted by the warm surface never reaches space. Instead the radiation is reflected or absorbed by compounds known as greenhouse gasses. When these compounds absorb the infrared radiation from the surface, the atmosphere heats up.

54. Which is characteristic of pillow basalts? a. form under water b. form under high pressure c. lens-shaped masses surrounded
natulia [17]

Answer:

a and c

Explanation:

Basalt pillows occur when the basalt flows into the sea and the hot lava's contact with the cold sea water, the thermal shock, shapes the basalta into a rounded (pillow-like) shape, cooling the surface while a mass of Basalt is kept inside. For this reason, we can say that basalt pillows are an underwater shape, characterized as lens-shaped masses surrounded by cooled shells.
