Describe<br> 2. What is the structure of Earth's atmosphere?
sergejj [24]

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!!

The Hawaiian Islands are associated with what type of volcanism? intraplate volcanism volcanism at a divergent plate boundary su
tangare [24]

The correct answer is - intraplate volcanism.

The Hawaiian Islands are volcanic islands, thus islands that have been created by volcanic activity. Unlike most of the volcanic islands, or most of the volcanoes, they are not related to any type of volcanism asociated with plate boundary. These islands are in fact associated with intraplate volcanism.

The intraplate volcanism, unlike the other volcanisms, appears inside the plate, not on the boundary of it. The other, more common name, used for this volcanism is hot spot volcanism. This type of volcanic activity appears on places where there's a hot spot, so even though the plate is on top of it, it manages to penetrate through it, and create volcanoes on the surface.
