6.2 carrell
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles of matter | conduction |
| bounce back | reflect |
| radiation | electromagnetic waves that transfer thermal energy |
| transfer of thermal energy by the movement of matter from one place to anither | convection |
| strength or weakens of circulating air motions | stability |
| troposphere that involves a temperature increase with altitude | temperature inversion |
| series of action | process |
| the warming rays of the sun | radiation |
| a branding iron making a mark | conduction |
| a cool breeze | convection |
| water freezing | release of thermal energy |
| ice melting | absorption of thermal energy |
| rising air is always accompanied by BLANK air | sinking |
| air moving over a mountain range is called an BLANK | mountain wave |
| this type of air moment creates BLANK clouds | lenticular |
| when air is BLANK, these movements are weak | stable |
| an BLANK occurs when air in the upper troposphere is warmer than air in the lower troposphere | temperate inersion |
| when air is BLANK ,the vertical movements of air are strong | unstable |
| this condition can cause a buildup of BLANK at lower altitudes | air pollution |
| the second atmospheric layer, the BLANK, includes a region known as the ozone layer | stratosphere |
| birds, bats, and insects fly in the BLANK, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere | troposphere |
| the BLANK is layer between the stratosphere and the thermosphere | mesosphere |
| beyond the thermosphere is the BLANK, which is the atmospheric layer that is farthest from earth | exosphere |
| earth's BLANK contains water vapor, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and other gases | atmosphere |
| the BLANK extends from the mesosphere to the exosphere | thermosphere |
| spectacular auroras might occur when charged particles in the BLANK emit vivid colors | ionosphere |
| which three components make up almost all the energy Earth receives from the Sun | visible light, ultra violet, infrared radiation |
| about how much incoming solar radiation is absorbed by Earth's atmosphere | 20% |
| about how much incoming solar radiation reaches Earth's surface and is absorbed | 50% |
| what is absorbed radiation remitted as | IR |
