| hoot feet from hot sand | Conduction |
| A cool breeze | Convection |
| heat from glowing coals | Radiation |
| high altitude air streams | Convection |
| the warmth of a heating pad | Conduction |
| water freezing | R |
| Ice melting | A |
| water evaporating | A |
| water vapor condensing | R |
| The transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles of matter | Conduction |
| bounce back | Reflect |
| electromagnetic waves that transfer thermal energy | Radiation |
| The transfer of thermal energy by the movement of matter from one place to another. | Convection |
| Strength or weakness of circulating air motions | Stability |
| Condition in the troposphere that involves a temperature increase with altitude. | Temperature inversion |
| Ordered series of actions | Process |
| When warm air rises, energy is transferred to the atmosphere by | Convection |
| Rising air is always accompanied by | Sinking air |
| Air moving over a mountain range is called a | Mountain wave |
| This type of air movement creates ________ clouds | Lenticular |
| when air is ________, the vertical movements if air are strong | Unstable |
| when air is ________, these movements are weak | Stable |
| A _________________ occurs when air in the upper troposphere is warmer than air in the lower troposphere | Temperature inversion |
| This condition can cause a buildup of ____________ at lower altitudes | Air pollution |
| Ninety-nine percent of the radiation Earth receives from the Sun is | Visible light, UV, and Infrared radiation |
| About 20 percent of the radiation from the Sun is absorbed by | Particles |
| About 25 percent of radiation from the Sun is reflected by | Clouds and particles |
| About 5 percent of the radiation from the Sun is reflected by | Land and sea |
| About 50 percent of the Sun's rays are | Received and absorbed |
| Absorbed radiation is remitted as | Infrared radiation |
| Which gases in the atmosphere contribute the most to The Green House Effect process | Carbon dioxide, Methane gas, Water vapor |
| What is the term for the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves? | Radiation |
| Which three components make up all the energy Earth receives from the Sun | Visible light, UV, and infrared radiation |
| How do wavelengths of infrared light compare to wavelengths of ultraviolet light | As wave lengths decrease energy increases |
| How does the atmospheric ozone layer protect Earth? | It protects us from the harsh UV rays of the Sun's energy. |
| About how much incoming solar radiation is absorbed by Earth's atmosphere | 20% of it is absorbed |
| About how much incoming solar radiation reaches Earth's surface and is absorbed | 50% |
