Temperature inversions occur naturally in the stratosphere and thermosphere, but also occur closer to the surface of earth in th
skelet666 [1.2K]

Temperature inversion or thermal inversion is a phenomenon during which the temperature increase when there is an increase in the altitude. It is an uncommon process that happens in the troposphere-the layer of atmosphere closest to the earth.  

When there is an increase in temperature with altitude that warm air acts as a blockage for the cool air near the surface of the earth. So this is just opposite to the normal behavior of the air, where it becomes cooler with an increase in altitude.

So how air circulation behaves during inversion?

So as we said that the cool air nearer to the earth will be blocked by a layer of warm air. This blockage will hinder the circulation of air upwards from the lower layers. Let’s see how:

• As we know that, warm air is less dense and more buyout than cool air and normally less dense warm air is close to the earth and cool air is in above layers. But when the process is reversed, this warm air acts like a blanket for the proper circulation of air. Due to this, many environmental pollutants which normally leave the earth during air circulation get trapped in our air.  

• The trapped environmental pollutants like nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons get convert into harmful ozone that ultimately deteriorates the quality of air and causes problems like smog.

• The improper air circulation also causes suspension of the harmful gases near the earth instead of allowing them to leave the earth atmosphere. This ultimately causes air pollution.  

• When smoke will not rise, carbon dioxide will be build up in the atmosphere; this will cause greenhouse effect and global warming.

Therefore, air circulation behaves very different during temperature inversion process and poses hazardous effects on global climate.

Hope it helps! :)

What is the boundary between the earths lower mantle and the upper mantle called ?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

i have trusted my best to answer

Explanation:

Edit

The upper mantle of Earth is a very thick layer of rock inside the planet, which begins just beneath the crust (at about 10 km (6.2 mi) under the oceans and about 35 km (22 mi) under the continents) and ends at the top of the lower mantle at 670 km (420 mi). Temperatures range from approximately 200 °C (392 °F) at the upper boundary with the crust to approximately 900 °C (1,650 °F) at the boundary with the lower mantle. Upper mantle material which has come up onto the surface is made up of about 55% olivine, 35% pyroxene and 5 to 10% of calcium oxide and aluminum oxide minerals such as plagioclase, spinel, or garnet, depending upon depth.

Which of the following pairs of terms is mismatched? Which of the following pairs of terms is mismatched? antisepsis destruction
Elden [556K]

Answer:

germicide removal of microbes from a limited area

Explanation:

Antisepsis refers to the practice of using an antiseptic substance to remove or destroy disease-causing pathogens.

Virucides are chemical agents that aid in the deactivation or destruction of viruses.

Germicides are chemical agents that are capable of destroying germs with germs being harmful microscopic organisms.

Disinfection refers to the action of using chemicals to clean off or destroy bacteria from an area.

Considering the definition of each term above, the mismatched pair of all the terms is germicide -<em> germicide removal of microbes from a limited area.</em>

Germicide is a substance and not an action.

In the spinal cord, gray matter is functionally organized into _________ while white matter is organized into _________.
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Horns and columns.

Explanation:

The spinal cord is the important component of the central nervous system. The spinal cord consists of the nerves of the body and control the reflex actions of the body.

Spinal cord consist of white matter and grey matter. The motor and sensory axons are present on white matter. The white matter covers the grey matter and arranged into the different columns. The grey lies inside the white matter and consists of neuronal cell bodies. The grey matter is completely organised in the horns.

Thus, the answer is horns and columns.
