|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Identify the order of the layers of the atmosphere starting with the layer closest to the ground. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | troposphere
🗑
|
||||
| show | ozone layer
🗑
|
||||
| Why is the ionosphere important? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Oxygen

| 78% of our atmosphere is made up of what kind of gas? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The weight of air being pulled down on an area of Earth's atmosphere.
🗑
|
||||
| Why does air have pressure? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Air pressure decreases because there is less air (atmosphere) above you.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The density of the air decreases (air molecules and particles become more spread out)
🗑
|
||||
| Define weather. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | temperature, altitude (amount of air above you)
🗑
|

| Which layer of the atmosphere contains satellites orbiting the earth? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | protects us from meteors (meteoroids burn up in this layer)
🗑
|
||||
| show | 1. provides us with Oxygen and other gases necessary for survival 2.Provides us with warmth, trapping in heat from the sun 3. provides us with liquid water, carries on the water cycle 4. protects from meteors 5. protects from UV rays

| show | When a fluid is heated, the fluid becomes warm and less dense causing it to rise. Then, the fluid begins to cool as it gets further away from the heat source. As it cools it becomes denser and sinks. This is a cycle that continues.

| The thermosphere is composed of what two sub-levels? | show 🗑
|
||||
| When water is heated in a can and then inverted in an ice bath, why does the can get crushed (implode)? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Water takes a while to absorb heat from the sun, so it will not conduct as much heat to the air directly above it. This means the air will be cooler and denser than air directly above land.
🗑
|
||||
| show | cool air is denser, so it is more likely to sink. When the air sinks it puts more pressure on the ground beneath it.
🗑
|
||||
| show | barometer
🗑
|
||||
| show | millibars and inches
🗑
|
||||
| show | The equator receives direct sunlight all year round. This leads to warm temperatures. Warm air is less dense and rises, creating an area of low pressure. This is also why there are more storms along the equator.
🗑
|
||||
| What causes differences in air pressure? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The ozone molecules that make up the ozone layer absorb some of the heat radiated from the sun.
🗑
|
||||
| Which has more thermal energy? A. a cup of hot cocoa (103 degrees Fahrenheit) B. Lake Michigan (42 degrees Fahrenheit) | show 🗑
|
||||
| The first step to heating Earth's atmosphere is: ______________. | show 🗑
|
||||
| The geosphere absorbs radiation from the sun and _____________ heat to the air directly above it. | show 🗑
|

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
