What are the functions of the global circulatory system?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

The tropospheric lapse rate (the rate at which temperature decreases with altitude) is approximately 6 oC (11 oF) per kilometer.
 
  Given that the mean surface temperature of Earth is 288K and the effective radiating temperature is 225K, from what altitude does most of the emitted radiation derive? How and when did the atmosphere and ocean form? Which gases are thought to have been present in the early atmosphere?
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Earth's global circulatory systems help to maintain the planet in thermal and chemical balance. Essential gases and nutrients are transported throughout the Earth syste, and waste products are removed from their area of production. All of Earth's circulatory systems act in some way to help regulate the global temperature.

Answer to Question 2

Given:
Troposheric lapse rate: 6 oC/km
Mean surface temperature of Earth: 288 K
Effective radiating temperature: 255 K
288  255 = 33 oC
33 oC / 6 oC/km = 5.5 km

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.
