Question | Answer |
the transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles of matter | conduction |
bounce back | reflect |
radiation | electromagnetic waves that transfer thermal energy |
transfer of thermal energy by the movement of matter from one place to anither | convection |
strength or weakens of circulating air motions | stability |
troposphere that involves a temperature increase with altitude | temperature inversion |
series of action | process |
the warming rays of the sun | radiation |
a branding iron making a mark | conduction |
a cool breeze | convection |
water freezing | release of thermal energy |
ice melting | absorption of thermal energy |
rising air is always accompanied by BLANK air | sinking |
air moving over a mountain range is called an BLANK | mountain wave |
this type of air moment creates BLANK clouds | lenticular |
when air is BLANK, these movements are weak | stable |
an BLANK occurs when air in the upper troposphere is warmer than air in the lower troposphere | temperate inersion |
when air is BLANK ,the vertical movements of air are strong | unstable |
this condition can cause a buildup of BLANK at lower altitudes | air pollution |
the second atmospheric layer, the BLANK, includes a region known as the ozone layer | stratosphere |
birds, bats, and insects fly in the BLANK, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere | troposphere |
the BLANK is layer between the stratosphere and the thermosphere | mesosphere |
beyond the thermosphere is the BLANK, which is the atmospheric layer that is farthest from earth | exosphere |
earth's BLANK contains water vapor, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and other gases | atmosphere |
the BLANK extends from the mesosphere to the exosphere | thermosphere |
spectacular auroras might occur when charged particles in the BLANK emit vivid colors | ionosphere |
which three components make up almost all the energy Earth receives from the Sun | visible light, ultra violet, infrared radiation |
about how much incoming solar radiation is absorbed by Earth's atmosphere | 20% |
about how much incoming solar radiation reaches Earth's surface and is absorbed | 50% |
what is absorbed radiation remitted as | IR |
