They trap the heat from the sun that is reflected by Earth
What best explains how greenhouse gases affect earth?
they trap heat in the atmosphere, warming the planet
What is the theory that explains the source of Earth's magnetic field called?
The source of Earth's magnetic field is best explained by _____.domainsthe dynamo theoryCoulomb's lawelectrostatics
What best explains why thunderstorms usually form on warm days?
The warm air over the Earth's surface rises and pushes the clouds higher.
Which statement best explains how convection currents can occur in earths mantle?
Earth's rotation causes mantle convention. But you already knew that! :P

What best explains how the greenhouse gases heat the earth?
Greenhouse gases absorb heat rising from the surface of the earth. These warmed gases radiate heat in all directions, including back onto the earth, heating the atmosphere. So the heat is not lost to space, but instead builds up in the atmosphere where it heats the earth as well. they trap the heat from the sun that is reflected by the earth
What gas properties best explains the ability of air bags to cushion the force of impact during a car accident?
gasses are compressible
Which property of gases best explains the ability of air bags to cushion the force of impact during a car accident?
Gasses are comperssible (plato)
Why greenhouse effect is increasing due to the burning of fossil fuels?
Around the earth there is a natural gas layer which surrounds it. This gas layer traps sun in so that the earth is warmer. This is known as the greenhouse effect (because the gas layer is a bit like a greenhouse to the earth). Without it, the earth would be too cold to live in! The burning of fossil fuels releases gasses into the atmosphere. These gasses join the gas layer around the earth. This is bad because it makes the layer thicker and therefore traps more sun and heat in. This is why it increases. This also increases the temperature and causes global warming. Global warming melts Antarctica and that's why the sea levels are rising. The higher sea levels cover low lying areas and coastal regions. This is why it is best to minimise the burning of fossil fuels as much as possible, as it can cause all sorts of problems.
What best explains why there is life on earth but not on the moon?
The moon has no atmosphere to support life.
Which statement best explains why different areas of the Earth have different amounts of heat energy?
Different parts of the Earth get different amounts of solar(heat) energy.
Which statement best explains why the sun and the moon appear to be about the same size in the atmosphere?
The sun and the moon are the same distance from the earth

What statement best explains why fluid is deflected?
The Coriolis effect best explains why fluid is deflected.
