they form above earths surface (THIS ANSWER IS NOT CORRECT) They Form BELOW earths surface(:
It is the Earths Mass
no
A *fault* is a slip or crack in the earths crust.
sphere, round
It has colder temperatures than earth does
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
Radiant and gravitational Energy.
it depends on the deepth
The air becomes less dense, the higher you go. And generally, the temperature gets colder until you reach the thermosphere, which is the hottest part of Earths atmosphere.
Water has a much higher specific heat (what's that?) than Earth (as in rocks or sand). Therefore, the ocean acts as a buffer (the land gets colder and hotter).
Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
The earths temperature varies for example living on the equator it would be hotter but up in the north lets say iceland it would be a lot colder so there is no real earths temperature(unless you get to the core of the earth)
it is 65
Oblique
The Sun heats up the Earth At least, mostly It heats up the molecules in the air, which also explains why it's colder the higher you are- there are less air molecules for the Sun to heat up
Volcanoes cause Earth's climate to get colder because their airborne debris reduce insulation.
