Composition and Structure of Atmosphere Flashcards
1
Q
O2, CO2, H2O(g) are negligible at an altitude of?
A
O2 → 120 Km
CO2 and H2O(g) → 90 Km
2
Q
Why Terrestrial Radiation is ↑ than Insolation?
A
As CO2 is transparent to insolation but opaque to terrestrial radiation → ↑ Terrestrial Radiation
3
Q
Ozone lies between?
A
10 - 50 Km
4
Q
Concentration of dust particles is higher in which regions and the reason?
A
Higher in the Sub - tropical and Temperate regions due to dry winds
5
Q
Relation between ρ and A
A
A α 1/ρ
6
Q
