EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE
The most abundant gas in the atmosphere
Nitrogen
This protects us from UV radiation
OZONE LAYER
The movement of heat from one object to another is called __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __.
HEAT TRANSFER
The ozone layer protects us from __ __ _____________
UV RADAITION
This heat transfer explains how the Sun warms Earth.
Radiation
Too many of these types gas causes to global warming
Greenhouse gases
The least dense atmospheric layer
thermosphere
CFC's are pollution that does this to the ozone layer
thins / put holes in it
This process moves heat through waves and can travel through empty space.
Radiation
Satellites orbit Earth mainly in this layer.
Thermosphere
This term describes the weight of the air above you.
air pressure
The atmospheric layer with the most air pressure
troposphere
This type of heat transfer happen when a lizard's feet heat up as it walks across the hot ground.
conduction
Touching a hot pan and getting burned is an example of this.
Conduction
Compare the air pressure and temperatures at sea level compared to on the top of Mt. Everest.
...
Roughly this percent of the atmosphere’s gases that are found in the troposphere.
90%
Explain how the sun makes wind.
...
This heat transfer explains boiling water.
Convection
These type of heat transfer cannot happen in space.
