The correct matches are:
1. Exosphere - Temperatures reach as high as 2000 C yet it feels very cold
This is the top layer of the atmosphere. The atoms are so dispersed that despite it having very high temperature it doesn't feel like it at all.
2. Thermosphere - Particles that have enough energy can escape into space
The thermosphere is the fourth highest layer of the atmosphere. The atoms in this layer are relatively distant from one another, so the particles that have enough energy manage to escape easily into the exosphere and then the space.
3. Mesosphere - It is the coldest region of the atmosphere
The mesosphere is the third highest layer. In this layer the temperatures constantly drop, and they go down to -85 degrees, making it the coldest layer by far.
4. Stratosphere - Ninety percent ozone is in this layer
The startosphere has a separte zone in it which is dominated by only one gas, the ozone. It is called the ozone layer, the one that protects the Earth from too intense UV radiation, and in fact over 90% of this gas is locate here.
5. Troposphere - It is warm due to the heat from Earth's surface
The troposphere is the densest and lowest of the layers. It is the one that also has Greenhouse gases which manage to trap the heat that is radiated from the surface of the Earth, thus keeping this layer relatively warm.
Because the Earth<span> is a sphere, the surface gets much more intense sunlight, hence heat, at the equator than at the poles.</span>
The distribution of heat around the globe, and through the year, coupled with the physical properties of air, produce a distinctive pattern of climatic zones.
Answer:
Lowering the object near the ground decreases its <u>potential energy.</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
Potential Energy : Energy possessed by the object due to its shape ,Size and Position is called potential energy.
Example :
Change in shape and size : When you compress the spring , potential energy is introduced in it . So it expand quickly when you remove your hand.
Change in position : when you swing , after attaining maximum height (extreme ends) , the swing comes back on its on .This is because at maximum height ,the swing has<u> maximum Potential energy . </u>Hence it fall back on its on because it already has potential energy.
Potential energy(P) is given by the formula :
P = mgh
where ,
m= mass of the object
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height of the object from the ground
If the height of the object increases from the ground , its potential energy also get increase.
<u><em>On lowering the object The height of the object from the ground reduces . So potential energy also reduces.</em></u>
The correct answers are A and C.
