Heterosphere: The heterosphere is the part of the atmosphere that is 80/100 kilometers above the surface | Course Hero. New Microsoft Word Document (9).docx - 2.
The preview shows page 1 - 1 out of 1 page. The homosphere and heterosphere are distinguished by the degree to which the atmospheric gases are well mixed together. As a result of turbulence mixing gases together, the surface-based homosphere consists of four layers: troposphere (lowermost layer), stratosphere (middle layer), and thermosphere (uppermost layer).
Define the following terms and major characteristics of the layers: heterosphere, homosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere, ionosphere, ozonosphere Define the terms: Lapse rate and inversion What is the greenhouse effect and what atmospheric gases are considered greenhouse gases?
B) Heterosphere. C) Troposphere. D) Thermosphere. Answer: B 15) How are the gases in the heterosphere arranged and why? A) They are well mixed because of thermal motions (i.e., convection). B) They are well mixed due to the influence of gravity which causes gases of different weight to diffuse randomly.
Conceived by students at Cornell, Course Hero provides access to old tests, homework problems, textbook answers and class notes. It also offers the ability to form study groups where you can share files and exchange ideas. It’s basically a forum where you can put up old schoolwork you’ve done and see the old schoolwork of your peers from your own school and around the nation.
You can choose to study through the internet, or meet at a physical table and chairs on campus. In this way, Course Hero allows you to make connections with others who you can help, and who can help you.
One of the big problems with Course Hero is that if a student wants to cheat, the website offers all the tools they need to do so. It provides a temptation to students who are looking for exam answers and want to cheat in class.
You also can’t track who is using Course Hero. Often, notes are posted anonymously, so the individual who posted them cannot be tracked down. This means that it’s harder to punish those who are blatantly cheating or difficult to tell if the resources available can really be trusted.
Course Hero isn’t really free. While you can create an account for no cost, you can’t view anything until you pay in one of two ways: By posting materials (40 documents = 1 month free) By paying a monthly, 6 month, or yearly fee.
