The atmosphere is composed of several gases. the gas which is present in the largest quantity is: a. carbon dioxide b. nitrogen c. oxygen d. water vapor 2. this gas is found in small quantities in the lower layers of the stratosphere. this gas is extremely important because it absorbs ultraviolet radiation. a. argon b. carbon dioxide c. nitrogen d. ozone 3. water evaporates off lakes. winds blow across the planet. where does the energy come from for these and other weather processes? a. heat from the earths core b. dollar energy c. cold currents in the ocean d. rising cool air creating cold front timed unit test i only have 51 minutes left with 38 questions

Answer 1: Option(B) Nitrogen

Explanation:

The earth's atmosphere comprises of different gases which are Nitrogen(78%), plenty of Oxygen(21%), argon(0.9%) and remaining are the methane, gaseous oxides etc. So Nitrogen is present in largest quantity in the earth's atmosphere.

Answer 2: Option(D) Ozone

Explanation:

The Stratosphere is the second lowest layer of the earth. It contains the ozone which absorbs the UV rays coming form the sun because of which there is a rise in temperature than other layers.

Answer 3: Option(A) Heat from the earths core

Explanation:

The heat energy coming from the Sun heats the earth non-uniformly that results in the hot and cold area on the earth causes low and high air pressure.The Sun heats the earth core. When there is a hot weather the land near the sea becomes hot in comparison with the sea results in the hot wind flow from the sea.

answer: option (4) is the correct answer.

explanation:

areas which are at low altitudes and near the equator tend to receive direct sunlight from the sun. hence, heat energy or radiations from the sun make these areas warmer and they have warmest water.

whereas areas which are at high altitudes and away from the equator do no receive direct sunlight. hence, no direct contact from the sun makes these regions colder and thus, they have colder water.

thus, we can conclude that the statement areas at low latitudes near the equator have the warmest water because they receive the most direct sunlight best explains the relationship between an area's geography and the temperature of its surface water.

d.) circle motion requires a force to give it a centripetal acceleration.
