Question

the release of heat energy from earths surface acts to

o heat the atmosphere from below.

o set the atmosphere into stagnation.

o the escape of heat to the volcanoes and spreading centers.

o destruction of the atmospheric temperature.

Explanation:

The Earth's surface radiates heat energy. This heat warms the lower - layer of the atmosphere which is in contact with the surface. Heat transfer from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere occurs mainly through conduction, convection, and radiation. It does not cause atmospheric stagnation, nor is it about heat escaping to volcanoes and spreading centers in the context of surface - to - atmosphere heat transfer, and it does not destroy atmospheric temperature.

Answer:

heat the atmosphere from below.
