What is the atmosphere?
Layer of gases that surround that surround the earth
100
What is weather?
Virtually all of this occurs in the troposphere
100
What are winds?
These are caused by unequal heating of the earth's surface
100
What are the four different types of clouds found in the troposphere?
Cirrus, Cumulus, Stratus, and Nimbus
100
What is the thermosphere?
Also known as the heat sphere
200
What is nitrogen?
Makes up 78% of the earth's atmosphere
200
What is atmospheric air?
Most of this type of air occurs here
200
What are clouds?
When water vapor condenses it forms this
200
What are cirrus clouds?
This type of cloud is wispy and curly, composed of ice crystals, and are high in the sky
200
What is the Mesosphere?
Meteoroids usually burn in this layer
300
What is Carbon Dioxide?
This gas is removed from the atmosphere by plants
300
What is decreases?
Air temperature ____________ with height above the earth
300
What is dew point?
This is the temperature at which water begins to condense on surfaces
300
What are stratus clouds?
This type of cloud is low lying, composed of water droplets, and have blankets similar to a blanket
300
What is the Exosphere?
Satellites orbit the earth in this layer
400
What is atmospheric pressure?
This decreases with increased altitude
400
What is the lowest layer?
The troposphere is this layer of the atmosphere
400
What is the water cycle?
Moisture in the troposphere moves through this cycle
400
What are nimbus clouds?
This type of cloud extends through rain, storm, and all levels
400
What is the stratosphere?
This layer allows for undisturbed flight
500
What are the layers of the atmosphere?
Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere
500
What is temperature?
Differences in this separates the troposphere from the stratosphere
500
What is humidity?
This depends on the amount of water vapor and the temperature of the air
500
What are cumulus clouds?
These clouds are fluffy, dense, mostly made of water droplets, and are found mid level
500
What is the Magnetosphere?
This is beyond the Earth's atmosphere and traps harmful particles from the sun
