What will happen to the earth,s atmosphere without storms,cyclones and earthquakes?

Question

Hurricanes, cyclones, TRS, Active volcanoes and earth quaks, all these are natural disaster for our civilization and everybody dont want these things happen. But what would be the natural effect on our atmosphere if those ominus things stop their activities?

Answer 1

The earth would be a cesspool.

Answer 2

Earthquakes have no real effect on the atmosphere.

Volcanoes spew out both dust, which causes global cooling, and CO2, which causes global warming. The CO2 lasts longer than the dust, but the dust effect from a really big eruption is profound.

You will never get rid of hurricanes and cyclones unless you stop the sun from shining. Here's why:

- imagine a round ball that's completely covered in hair
- now get a hairbrush and try to brush that hair completely flat all over
- you can't do it. There will always be a little twist of hair on the ball somewhere.

The hair represents the wind, and if the sun is shining the wind will blow. The sun continually pours energy into the wind, and all it can do is blow.

The twist that you can't get rid of is a storm. This means that, at all times, there is always at least one active storm somewhere on earth. It can't be otherwise.

that aside, if you did get rid of the really big storms you would probably get more global warming. Hurricanes take energy from the sea and dump it by radiation into space. They also increase cloud cover and thus increase the albido (sp?) of the planet, its "whiteness", which increases the reflection of solar radiation.

Hurricanes are something of a safety valve for global temperatures, so preventing them while increasing global temperatures would create an instability. Eventually the system just wouldn't cope and there would be one big massive mother-of-all hurricanes.

Answer 3

Hurricanes, cyclones and TRS all contribute to moderation of the global heat balance by transporting heat away from the equator. Without them the polar areas would cool and the tropics boil.
Volcanoes have an overall nil effect, the CO2 they produce warms the atmosphere but the ash cools it.
Earthquakes do not affect the atmosphere unless they produce a tsusami.

Answer 4

The atmosphere would eventually disappear without storms, lightning strikes produce ozone, the protective layer around our planet. Intense volcanic in the few million years or so after the planet was formed produced massive electrical storms, helping the formation of the ozone layer.

Large storms help to regulate global weather patterns but as far as I am aware earthquakes have no particular effect on the atmosphere, certainly not in a global sense? For earthquakes to stop, tectonic plate activity would have to cease, when that happens our planet is effectively dead but we will probably have nuked/polluted/blown up the place by then so happy days, no need to worry about it!!!!

Answer 5

Considering many natural phenomena might be electrically powered via current discharge from the sun along electromagnetic force lines...

Might be a moot question. A better question might be, "how can we better predict these events by better understanding the mechanisms/currents that feed them?"

We're even seeing electrical causes of weather on venus, saturn, jupiter. They all appear to have dipolar auroras (one at the north pole, one at the south, as does Earth), etc.

Answer 6

The earth would be too full of creatures, and we would eliminate each other at a higher rate than today

Answer 7

then growth of the people will be high in some decade and i am sure that all want to die due to high population we are unable to produce enough food for ............that people

Answer 8

increase in the population
