| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Troposphere | bottom layer of the atmosphere |
| meteor | burn up in the mesosphere |
| lithosphere | Top layer of the crust. (Not one of the layers of the atmosphere) |
| Thermosphere | between the mesosphere and space |
| Ions | energized particles that o a layer in the stratosphere, create aroras and bounce radio waves back |
| radio waves | radiated heat waves |
| ionosphere | sub layers of the thermosphere |
| satellites | orbit in thermosphere |
| ozone | rises to a layer in the stratosphere, blocks out UV rays. |
| oxygen | *NO DEFINITION* |
| mesosphere | between stratosphere and thermo and meteors blow up there. |
| photochemical smog | exhaust from cars are invisible but when light hits it, it turns into brown and grey. |
| Carbon dioxide | *NO DEFINITION* |
| Trace gases | least common gas in our air that make up less than 1% |
| nitrogen | most common gas in our air by far. (78%) |
| auroras | *NO DEFINITION* |
| Stratosphere | The second lowest layer |
| Greenhouse gases | Gases in the atmosphere. traps in solar energy |
| ultraviolet light rays: beyond violet (the rainbow ends at violet which is saying it | s WAY beyond it) Invisable , poisoness to human skin.and blocked by the ozone layer. |
| Ozone Layer | *NO DEFINITION* |
| Methane | *NO DEFINITION* |
| Acid Rain | *NO DEFINITION* |
| Molecule dencity | as altitude increases , density decreases |
| Weather | storms, cloud , wind (troposphere) |
| Coal burning power plant | Produses sulfer oxide which leads to acid rain |
| Green house gas layer | troposphere. keeps in heat |
| sulfer oxide | *NO DEFINITION* |
| chemical structure | Co2 , H20 , 03 |
| Atoms + molecules | CO2 , O3 , atoms make up a molecule |
| Thermo, meso , exo, photo, litho | heat, middle,out,light,rocky hard(ground |
