|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ozone | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the lowermost layer of the atmosphere; characterized by a decrease in temperature as altitude increaces. The higher you go up the colder it gets.
🗑
|
||||
| show | the layer of the atmosphere immediately above the troposphere, characterized by increasing temperatures with height, due to the concentration of ozone - remember ozone absorbs UV radiation.
🗑
|
||||
| show | the layer of the atmosphere immediately above the stratosphere - temperatures decrease with height
🗑
|
||||
| show | the layer of the atmosphere immediately above the mesosphere - temperatures increase in this layer because solar radiation is absorbed by oxygen and nitrogen.
🗑
|
||||
| show | the outermost layer of the earth's atmosphere. It extends from about 400 km above the earth's surface
🗑
|
||||
| ionosphere | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Occurs on June 21 or 22 in N. Hemisphere - length of day light hours longer than darkness
🗑
|
||||
| winter solstice | show 🗑
|
||||
| autumnal equinox | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Occurs Mar. 21 or 22 in N. Hemisphere - length of day = to length of night.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Energy that is transferred from one object to another because of difference of each objects temperature
🗑
|
||||
| temperature | show 🗑
|
||||
| conduction | show 🗑
|
||||
| convection | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the process in which energy is emitted as particles or waves - sunlight
🗑
|
||||
| reflection | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the redirecting ( in all directions) of light by small particles and gas molecules in the atmosphere = results with more light rays with a weaker intensity.
🗑
|
||||
| greenhouse effect | show 🗑
|
||||
| albedo | show 🗑
|
||||
| isotherm | show 🗑
