These compounds emit alpha and beta radiation. But most of this radiation gets absorbed by the rocks themselves and never makes it into the air. Gamma radiation is often produced at the same time as alpha and beta radiation. Gamma radiation can pass through the rocks and so this is the type that we detect most of.
Terrestrial (Earth) Radiation Radiation emitted by Earth is almost entirely long-wave radiation. Most of the terrestrial radiation is absorbed by the water vapor in the atmosphere and some by other gases (about 8 percent is radiated directly to outer space). This radiant energy is reradiated in the atmosphere horizontally and vertically.
