heat

What tool measures temperature?

barometer

psychrometer

anemometer

thermometer

Thermal energy is ____ when converting from water to water vapor.

lost

gained

True of False: Water will boil more easily at higher altitudes.

True

False

This type of pressure system will bring generally clear and sunny skies.

high pressure system

low pressure system

This layer of the earth is where weather occurs.

troposphere

stratosphere

mesosphere

thermosphere

Explain why breathing is more difficult at higher altitudes.

The air at higher altitudes is colder, less dense, and contains fewer oxygen molecules. The air is much thinner.

What tool measures air pressure?

barometer

anemometer

thermometer

psychrometer

What type of air can hold more water?

cold

warm

What is radiation?

Transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves/rays.

How does the atmosphere help the Earth?

Protects us from ultraviolet radiation

How does the greenhouse effect help the Earth?

Trapping some of the Earth's heat energy so that it doesn't all escape into space.

Which of the following is the most abundant gas in our atmosphere?

nitrogen

Warm air is less ___ and will ___.

dense, rise

As you move through this layer of the atmosphere, the temperatures continue to rise up to 2000 degrees Celsius.

stratosphere

thermosphere

mesosphere

troposphere

Define weather.

The atmospheric conditions of a certain place at a certain time.

What are the 2 layers of the atmosphere that make up the ionosphere?

Mesosphere and Thermosphere

Name this front.

occluded

cold

warm

stationary

What is the purpose of the ozone layer?

It absorbs a portion of the sun's radiation, preventing it from reaching Earth's surface.

Thermal energy is ____ when converting from water to ice.

lost

gained

Explain the main reason why the amount of ozone in out atmosphere is decreasing.

Release fo chemical compounds that contain gaseous chlorine or bromine (CFCs) from industry or other human activities.

Name what part of weather g/cm3 measures.

density

Not all of the sun's solar radiation is absorbed into Earth, what happens to the rest of the rays?

It is reflected or radiated back into the atmosphere to become heat energy.

As altitude increases in teh troposphere, the temperature ____.

decreases

increases

List the different variables that are used to describe weather.

temperature, air pressure , wind, humidity

Name this front.

stationary

cold

warm

occluded

Where does a maritime topical air mass come from and what type of weather desi ut bring?

comes from the warm temperatures of the Gulf of Mexico and moves northward. The air mass creates more of a chance of storms in southeast & central U.S. region.
