Composition of the Atmosphere | Earth | Solar System | Geography

The evolution of the earth's atmospheric composition (including O2) involves significant interactions with biosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. About 3.5 billion year ago, an interesting development occurred in the extensive waters of the primordial earth that profoundly affected the evolution of the atmosphere. Today, the dry atmosphere consists primarily of diatomic nitrogen (N2) and diatomic oxygen (O2). Nitrogen is a highly [...]

Wind: Denudation and Depositional Work of Wind | Atmosphere | Geography

In this article we will discuss about the denudation and depositional work of wind. Denudation Work of Wind: Air moves because of atmospheric pressure and this moving air is known as wind. Winds blows because of variations in air pressure. Wind always blows from high pressure to low pressure. The direction from which wind is coming gives it the name [...]

Air Pressure: Factors & Distribution | Atmosphere | Earth | Geography

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Definition of Air Pressure 2. Factors Affecting Air Pressure 3. Distribution. Definition of Air Pressure: Distribution of temperature is not similar at all the places on the Earth. Because of difference in temperature, air pressure also varies immensely. Weight of air is known as air pressure. Air is a composition of various [...]
