What do we call a measure of height above earths surface?
Height above earths surface is called elevation
What happens to air pressure as the distance from Earths surface increases?
As the distance from Earth's surface increases, the air pressure decreases. This is because there is less air above pushing down on the air below. The decrease in air pressure is why it becomes harder to breathe at higher altitudes.
What is the name of earths surface layer?
The Earth's surface layer is called the crust.
What is the distance of the inner core?
The inner core of Earth is approximately 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) beneath the planet's surface.
What rock can melt at a depth of about below earths surface?
50km
What is the distance above earths surface?
Infinity
What ends at approximately 50 km above the surface of the earth?
the Statosphere
What is the distance from the earths surface to Earth's crust?
i hate this home work
What shows the relationship between distances on the map and the corresponding distance on the earths surface?
A map scale.
What is potential energy dependent upon an objects weight and distance from earths surface?
Gravitational potential energy.
Where do you experience more gravity on earths surface or earths center?
on the surfaceNote:Since the earth's composition is not homogeneous, the gravitational acceleration onthe surface is probably less than what it is some small distance below the surface,but it's certainly greater than at the center.
Which force acts from a distance to play a role both in the formation of tides and mass movements on earths surface?
Gravity.
What percent of the earths surface is the US?
100
How much of earths oceans cover earths surface?
70% or 80% of water covers the earths surface
What ration of the distanceon a map to the actual distance on earths surface is called?
The ratio of the distance on the map to the actual distance on the Earth's surface is called the scale of the map. It indicates how much smaller the features on the map are compared to their actual size on the ground.
What is the angular distance of the horizon below the plane of observation caused by the curvature of the earths surface called?
The angular distance of the horizon below the plane of observation caused by the curvature of the Earth's surface is called the dip angle.
Does the outer core cover earths surface?
No the crust covers earths surface
