What do the atmospheres of venus and mars teach us about our own atmosphere

Geography

WINSTONCH [101]2 years ago
5 0
Earth’s atmosphere is a mixture of nitrogen (79%), oxygen (20%), and a small fraction of carbon dioxide, water vapours and other gases. This makes the existence of life possible on Earth. However, the atmospheres on Venus and Mars mainly consist of carbon dioxide. The amount of carbon dioxide on these planets can range from 95% to 97%. This may be the reason no life exists on these planets.

The atmosphere of Venus is about 96 per cent carbon dioxide, with surface temperatures around 737 K (464 °C, or 867 °F).
Venus itself rotates only once every 243 Earth days.
Mars, in contrast, has a thin atmosphere composed of about 95 per cent carbon dioxide, with the remainder being mostly diatomic nitrogen.

the weight of a body is more at polar regions of the earth than that at the equatorial regions? why give reason​
Aleks [24]

Explanation:

As the distance of the pole is less than the distance of the equator from the center of the earth, the force of attraction is higher on the body at poles than at the equator. Hence the weight of a body is greater at pole than at the equator.

Two forces applied to an object in opposite directions will be subtracted. ... If the net force is zero, no change will happen to the object's motion. If the forces are unbalanced, meaning there is some amount of net force, then the object will move in the direction of the force.

Why did China believe the building of the Three Gorges Dam was an absolute necessity in terms of energy production?
Anna [14]
China believes that building the Three Gorges Dam was an absolute necessity in terms of energy production because it can generate hydro-electric energy from Yangtze River. This hydro-electric-producing dam would generate less pollution than coal-fire generation and would slow the river from overflowing and destroying nearby villages.

Cowbirds have a parasitic relationship with other bird species. Which change in a limiting factor would decrease the carrying ca
atroni [7]
A limiting factor is something in a ecosystem that limits the growth of a species. In this case, cowbirds are limiting factors to wood thrushes because they lay eggs in the nests of wood thrushes, which is called "nest parasitism." A decrease in the carrying capacity—the number of living organisms that a region can support (without environmental degradation)—of wood thrushes could be caused by a decrease in the insect population size. The less insects, the less food. With less resources, the carrying capacity will decrease for wood thrushes. If the cowbird population were decreased, or the space or number of nesting sites were increased, the carrying capacity would increase, instead.
