Question	Answer
ozone gas	protects us from too much exposure which can damage our skin, cause cancer, weaken our immune system, and even damage our eyes
A catalytic converter,	an emissions control device, was added to automobiles in the mid-1970's.
A chlorine atom in a chlorofluorocarbon molecule	is responsible for destroying ozone molecules
smog	is the brown haze that forms over some cities
what are the temperature in the thermosphere	is very warm
Reflection and absorption by the atmosphere prevent	some radiation from reaching Earth's surface
Air above the equator	is heated more than at any other place on Earth
Emissions are controlled by	laws and new technology (catalytic converters, smokestack scrubbers, electrostatic precipitators) that reduce or prevent air pollution
The state of matter where the molecules are spaced the farthest apart is	a gas
the troposphere	is the layer of the atmosphere nearest to Earth's surface
Air in the troposphere	is warmed by heat from Earth's surface
Radiation	is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves
The exosphere	merges into outer space
Electrically charged particles	are found primarily in the ionosphere
Too much exposure to ultraviolet radiation can cause	skin cancer
Water is the only substance that exists	as a solid, liquid, and gas in Earth's atmosphere
Convection	is the transfer of heat by the flow of a heated material
Chlorofluorocarbons may be destroying the ozone layer by	destroying ozone molecules
The pH of acid rain is	any measurement lower than 5.6 on the pH scale
Thermal energy leaves the surface of the Sun and is	reflected, absorbed, and/or radiated in Earth's atmosphere and/or at its surface including all of the land and water
About 60% of carbon monoxide comes from	car exhaust
