15&16 Test Reiveiw
Atomosphere and Wind
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| This used to measure the condense water vapor that falls onto the earth | Rain Guage |
| Thin,high,feathery clouds made up of ice crystals | Cirrus |
| This is the difference in an aneroid barometer an mercury barometer | Merury has liquid and the aneroid doesn't and the aneroid is portable |
| Caused by differences in air pressure (density) | wind |
| Layer of the atmosphere where we live | Troposphere |
| Temperature at which water vapor condenses | Dew point |
| Condensation on solid surfaces | Dew |
| These make up Earth's major wind belts | Polar Easterlies,Horse Latitude,Trade Wind |
| Intrument used to measure wind directions | Wind Vane |
| Layer of the atomesphere with ozone | Stratosphere |
| Local wind at the day time | Sea Breeze |
| These are the 3 major types of clouds | Cirrus,Cumulus,Comulonimbus |
| Cool global winds | Polar Easterlies |
| The Earth's atomosphere provides all of this needed so it is very important to living things | Oxygen and other gases |
| Layer of the atmosphere with weather | Troposphere |
| Cool air masses tend to be more or less dense | Air pressure |
| As you rise father in the atomosphere, this is what happends to the air pressure | It decreases |
| Percent of oxygen in air | 21% |
| Local winds at night | Land breeze |
| Layer of the atomosphere where the meteroids burn | Mesosphere |
| A column of mercury will do this as air pressure increases | Rise |
| Local wind that moves froma body of water to a body of water to land | Sea breeze |
| This is a thin layer of gases that suround the Earth | Atmosphere |
| Since air has mass, the air in the atomosphere has this | Desity |
| Layer of atomospher that has satillites | Exosphere |
| Intrument used to measure wind speed | Anemometer |
| Global areas of calm | Doldrums |
| Condition of the Earth's atomosphere a particular time and place | Weather |
| Getting out of breath when climbing a mountain is caused by this | Beacause it has thinner air |
| Layer of the atomosphere wher aurora borealis occurs | Ionosphere |
| If the mass is less in a volume of air then this is also less | Density |
| This is a form of oxygen with three atoms in each molecule | Ozone |
| These intruments are used to measure air pressure | Barometer |
| This kind of winds blow over short distances | Local wind |
| Layer of the atomosphere where weather ballons fly | Stratosphere |
| Winds above the 30 degrees latitude | Preavaling westernlings |
| Percent of nitrogen in dry air | 78% |
| Intrument used to measure relative humidity (wet bulb/ dry bulb) | Pschrometer |
| Process by which gases hold heat in the Earth's atomosphere | Greenhouse efect |
| Coldest layer in the atomosphere | Mesosphere |
| National weather service measures air pressure in theese units | Millibars |
| The main layers of the atomosphere are classified according to their chages in this | Temperature |
| This acting on the roof of your house comes from air above and below the roof | Air pressure |
| Local wind that moves from land to a body of water | Land breeze |
| Layer of the atmosphere which gets warmer with altitude | Stratosphere |
| Ozone absorbs this type of electromagnetic radiaton | Ultraviolet radiation |
| Fluffy white clouds | Cumulus |
| Type of electromagnet radiation slower felt as heat | Infrared radiation |
| Large fluffy cloud which often produces thunderstorms | Cumulonimbus |
| Frozen pricipitation which is light and fluffy | Snow |
| Energy source for winds on earth | Sun |
| Happens to dry air when it gets heated | It gets less dense and rises |
| Layered clouds which often bring rain | Stratus |
| Clouds low to the surface on cool mornings | Fog |
| Frozen rain is also called this | Sleet |
| Compact barometer with no liquid | Aneroid |
| Water vapor is water in what state of matter | Gas |
| The density of air will increase the altitude does this | Decrease |
| Clouds formed by pollution | Smog |
| Follows a disturbance in the clouds | Thunder |
| Winds are caused by differences by this | Pressure |
| Form when water vapor condenses on solid particles | Cloud |
| Any form of water which falls to Earth's surface | Precipitation |
| Winds above and below the equator | Trade winds |
| 03 | Ozone |
| Pressure does this as the altitude increases | Decreases |
| Winds that blow between the equator and the poles | Global Winds |
| As air mass rises up rises up a mountainside the temperature does this | Decreaces (windward and leward) |
| Distance above sea level | Altitude |
| Clothes dryer is an example of what method of heat transfer | Convection currents |
