Atmosphere
What happens in the troposphere (at least two)?
1. Layer we live in
2. Weather occurs here
3. Atmosphere's thinnest layer
How do wildfires spread?
They spread by winds
What is the formula for density?
d = m/v
What goes into photosynthesis?
Water and carbon dioxide
What are the four examples of precipitation?
Rain, snow, sleet or hail
What happens in the mesosphere?
This is where shooting stars burn up and it has the coldest temperature
What is a blizzard?
A storm with low temperatures and a large amount of snow
What is kinetic energy?
The energy something has if it moves
What goes out of photosynthesis?
Sugar and Oxygen
What is a greenhouse gas?
It is a gas that traps heat in the atmosphere
What are two things that happen in the stratosphere?
2. Where planes fly
3. No moisture/dust
What is atmospheric pressure?
Force caused by air particles above earth
What is mass?
The amount of matter in an object
When does photosynthesis happen?
When there is light hitting a plant
How are permanent gases different from variable gases?
Permanent gases stay the same, variable gases change based on the activities of Earth
Which gas is the highest percentage in Earth's atmosphere?
Nitrogen
What is a flash flood?
Short, rapid, unexpected muddy flows of water
What is volume?
The amount of space something takes up
Why is photosynthesis important for humans?
We breathe in their oxygen
What do you need to remember when asking questions?
1) End in a question mark
2) Be specific
3) Capitalize first letter
What are the levels of Earth's atmosphere from the closest to the farthest from Earth?
Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere and Thermosphere
How is a hurricane different from a tornado?
A tornado is a rotating column of air that goes from the thunderstorm to the ground, a hurricane is moving wind systems that rotate around an eye or center of low atmospheric pressure
What would the density be if a liquid has a mass of 50g and a volume of 100cm^3?
.5 g/cm^3
What is the full equation for photosynthesis?
See teacher
What happened when you tried to push air out of a clamped syringe?
The air pressure and density increased. Particles did not leave or enter the syringe
