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

Geography
1 answer:
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 igneous rock gabbro most likely formed
weeeeeb [17]

Slowly, deep underground

The igneous rock gabbro is coarse grained and non-vesicular. Both characteristics show that it is an intrusive igneous rock. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed below Earth's surface and slowly (because they're underground). When rocks are intrusive, they are are non-vesicular (no air pockets) because the air has had the time to escape because of the slow cooling time period. Intrusive rocks are also coarse because crystals had the time to form in the rock during that longer cooling time.

Ps. extrusive igneous rocks form rapidly at Earth's surface and basically have tge opposite characteristics for the opposite reasons (ex: vesicular cause air had little time to escape)
