The layers of the atmosphere from closest to the earth's surface to farthest away.

What is trophosphere,stratosphere,mesosphere,thermosphere and exosphere?

100
This is the transfer of energy in the form of rays or waves.
What is radiation?
100

Carbon dioxide is absorbed in photosynthesis and released in respiration, True or False?

True

100

Planes can fly in what two layers of the atmosphere?

Trophosphere and Stratosphere


100
Finish this sentence. In the trophosphere, as altitude increases the temperature....
What is decreases?
200
This is where the ozone layer is located.
What is the stratosphere?
200
This is the transfer of heat energy that occurs when molecules touch one another.
What is conduction?
200

Decomposition is when nitrogen breaks apart in the sky because of lightning, true or false?

false

That is Lightning Fixation

200
All weather happens here.
What is the trophosphere?
200

Finish this sentence. As altitude increases throughout the atmospheric layers, the air pressure....

What is decreases?

300
This is where space shuttles orbit.
What is the exosphere?
300
This is the transfer of heat by the flow of a liquid or gas.
What is convection?
300

Assimilation is when the bacteria absorbs back into the roots during the nitrogen cycle, true or false?

true

300
This is the coldest layer of the atmosphere.
What is the mesosphere?
300
This gas makes up 78% of our atmospheric gases.
What is nitrogen?
400

What layer or the atmosphere can you find the Northern and Southern lights?

Thermosphere, because it's where the energetic particles from the sun (solar wind) interact with the Earth's atmosphere 

400
This type of heat transfer takes place within the water cycle.
What is convection?
400

Combustion is directly due to plants and animals decomposing, true or false?

false

400
This gas makes up 21% of air atmospheric gases.
What is oxygen?
400

What absorbs 50% of the sunlight's energy?

land and water

500

What are the top two contributors to Carbon dioxide emissions?

transportation and electricity

500
Warming your hands by a campfire is an example of this.
What is radiation?
500

Nitrogen fixation is when the oxygen-depleted environments convert nitrate back into the atmosphere, true or false?

False, that is called Denitrification!

500

What are three greenhouse gasses found in the atmosphere?  In order to get the points, you must have TWO correct answers!

CO2, methane and nitrous oxide



500

How does a greenhouse effect work like an actual greenhouse?

It acts as a glass building protecting the right amount of sunlight to go through to earth.
