Atmosphere and Global Warming with its Effects

Front

What are Jet Streams?

Back

Jet Streams are high-speed winds in the upper atmosphere that influence and force the surface winds to blow in the direction they move.

Front

What is Terrestrial Heat?

Back

Terrestrial heat is the heat emitted by the Earth into the atmosphere.

Front

Why does the Stratosphere provide ideal flying conditions?

Back

Due to the absence of water vapor, this layer is free from weather disturbances, which makes this area turbulence-free.

Front

What is the ozonosphere?

Back

It is a layer that lies in the stratosphere and has a rich concentration of ozone.

Front

What is the upper limit of the troposphere known as?

Back

Tropopause

Front

Which is the coldest atmospheric layer?

Back

Mesosphere

Front

Why is the mesosphere vital?

Back

In the mesosphere, meteors slow down and burn up due to friction and frictional heat.

Front

What happens in the mesopause?

Back

In the mesopause, the atmospheric temperature reaches its lowest point.

Front

What are ions?

Back

In the thermosphere, various solar radiations are absorbed. This breaks up the molecules of atmospheric gases into electrically charged particles called ions.

Front

How are the auroras formed?

Back

The auroras are formed by high-energy particles from the Sun interacting with the atoms in the ionosphere.
