100
the most abundant gas in the atmosphere
nitrogen
100
the layer where weather is found
troposphere
100

Sunburn can result from exposure to what type of radiation

ultraviolet

100

This instrument is used to measure how hot or cold the air is

thermometer

100
amount of mass in a given volume is this
density
200
the gas that makes up about 21% of the atmosphere
oxygen
200
where the ozone layer is found
stratosphere
200

This process occurs when particles and gases in the atmosphere disperse light in all directions

Scattering

200
instrument that measures air pressure
barometer
200
this is the distance above sea level
altitude
300
excess of this gas contributes to global warming
carbon dioxide
300
the "hot layer" of the atmosphere
thermosphere
300

Energy travels to the Earth in the form of

Electromagnetic waves

300
this happens to air pressure as altitude increases
decreases
300

The level of what element falls in a barometer as the air pressure falls

Mercury

400
gas in the atmosphere that varies from place to place
oxygen
400
the layer of electrically charged particles
ionosphere
400

This natural process holds heat in Earth's atmosphere

The Greenhouse Effect

400
as the density of air increases, the air pressure does this
decreases
400
this is made up of 3 atoms of oxygen
ozone
500
condition of the earth's atmosphere at a particular time and place
weather
500
the thickest layer of the atmosphere
thermosphere
