Evaporation and Energy
Most evaporation on Earth comes from this location.
What are equatorial oceans?
This is the layer closest to Earth’s surface.
What is the troposphere?
The Sun’s rays hit this region most directly.
What is the equator?
These organisms release oxygen and take in carbon dioxide like cyanobacteria.
What are trees (plants)?
Warm air at the equator does this.
What is rises?
This process happens when water changes from liquid to gas.
What is evaporation?
This is the layer closest to Earth’s surface.
What is the troposphere?
Sunlight is more intense at the equator because rays hit at this angle.
What is 90 degrees (direct angle)?
The gas released by plants during photosynthesis.
What is oxygen?
Rising warm air creates this type of pressure.
What is low pressure?
Solar energy hitting Earth’s surface is first this before being re-radiated.
What is absorbed energy?
This layer contains the ozone layer.
What is the stratosphere?
When energy is absorbed and re-radiated, it causes this effect on climate.
What is warming of the atmosphere?
The gas taken in by plants during photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide?
Equatorial air is typically this type of air.
What is warm and moist?
After Earth absorbs solar energy, it releases it back into the atmosphere in this form.
What is infrared radiation?
If ozone increases in this layer, it will become warmer because it absorbs solar radiation.
What is the stratosphere?
At the poles, solar energy is weaker because it is spread over this.
What is a larger area?
Early cyanobacteria helped create this major change in Earth’s atmosphere.
What is the increase of oxygen (oxygenation of the atmosphere)?
This condition is common in low-pressure equatorial regions.
What is precipitation?
Water vapor in the atmosphere eventually returns to Earth through this process.
What is precipitation?
This atmospheric layer is where meteors typically burn up.
What is the mesosphere?
This process helps distribute heat from the equator toward the poles through air movement.
What is convection?
This process allows plants to convert carbon dioxide and sunlight into energy.
What is photosynthesis?
Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of this type of pressure.
What is low pressure?
