What layer of the atmosphere do humans interact with the most?
What is the Troposphere?
This is produced, to even out areas of high air pressure and low air pressure
What is wind?
This type of energy is renewable, and uses moving air to create electricity
What is wind powered?
Pollen, Dust, Mould
What is Natural Air Pollution?
Rain with a pH of less than 7.0
What is Acid Rain?
The layer of the atmosphere that contains weather, Most of the water vapour and Carbon Dioxide.
What is the Troposphere?
Warm air is less ___________ and therefore 'lighter' than cold air
What is Dense?
These types of energy production produce Carbon Dioxide
What is (any 2): Coal-Powered, Gas-Powered or Natural Gas Powered?
This is the biggest contributor to air pollution
What is transportation?
Chemicals found in hairspray and other applicaitons break down molecules in the atmosphere, causing holes in this layer of the atmosphere
What is the Ozone Layer?
The layer of the atmosphere above the troposphere - contains the ozone layer
What is the Stratosphere?
When the air is very humid, and you can see fog and mist, the air is saturated with this substance.
What is Water Vapour?
This type of energy production uses photons from the sun moving across a barrier to create electron flow
What is Solar Energy?
Smog
What is a Combination Natural and Human Made air pollution in cities?
This effect causes wind to deviate from a straight line in a counter-clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere, and a clockwise direction in the southern hemisphere
What is the Coriolis Effect?
This gas makes up 78% of the earth's atmosphere
What is Nitrogen gas?
Air temperature usually decreases as this increases
This type of energy produces harmful waste which is difficult to recycle or dispose of; often it is buried in a big hole in the earth.
What is Nuclear?
The increase in the earth's average temperatures due to increased Carbon Dioxyde and other Greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.
What is Global Warming?
What major scientific concepts had to be proven, in order for politicians to start prioritizing legislation to improve and protect clean air?
What is the idea that air pollution moves and distributes everywhere on earth?
This layer of the atmosphere blocks most of the UV rays from the sun.
The Ozone Layer
When colder air gets trapped beneath a layer of warm air, meaning that air temperature actually increases with altutude, instead of decreasing as usual, it is called this
What is a temperature inversion?
This type of energy production uses water and gravity to produce electricity
What is Hydroelectric?
Methane, Nitrous Oxide, Carbon Dioxyde and Water Vapour
What are Greenhouse Gasses?
The first offshore wind farm was installed in this year
