This is an important boundary layer of Earth's atmosphere dividing the troposhpere and the stratosphere.
What is the Tropopause?
This rises and expands when it is heated.
What is air?
This is the atmospheric layer containing gas that absorbs most of the sun's UV rays.
What is the ozone layer?
A question that cannot be answered with a simple Yes or No.
What is a compelling question?
This means to squeeze together.
What is compression?
This is considered to be the hottest layer of the atmosphere.
What is the Thermosphere?
Atmospheric pressure does this as distance from the earth increases.
What is decreases?
the number of air particles in a particular location.
What is density?
The amount of layers the atmosphere has.
What are four layers?
Most clouds are found in this layer of the atmosphere.
What is the Troposphere?
These focus on descriptions, definitions, and processes on which there is general agreement within the social studies disciplines
What are supporting questions?
In this layer of the atmosphere, temperature rises as you move upward.
What is the Stratosphere?
This measures atmospheric pressure.
What is a barometer?
This is the boundary between the mesosphere and the thermosphere.
What is the Mesopause?
This and air pressure decrease with height.
What is density?
This layer of the atmosphere protects the earth from meteors because they burn up here.
What is the mesophere?
An account of a historical event by a person that was there is known as this.
What is a primary source?
This is the lowest layer of the atmosphere.
What is the Troposphere?
These help make compelling questions actionable.
What are supporting questions?
Examining sources from different perspectives related to a culture is using this.
A different perspective.
These deal with curiosities about how things work in a given topic, have multiple possible answers, and tell us why, who, or how something happened.
What are compelling questions?
This exerts pressure, expands, can be compressed, and is affected by altitude and temperature.
What is air?
Here, the air is hot but it doesn't transfer that heat to objects.
This is the pressure of the Earth's atmosphere by the air above any given point.
What is atmospheric pressure?
Information gathered by someone who did not take part in a historical event is called this.
What is a secondary source?
