Biochemical
Which of the biochemical cycles has rocks as a main part of their cycle?
Phosphorus Cycle
What separates the Atmosphere layers?
Differences in temperatures (trends) OR Pause
Oxygen in this form is found of the Stratosphere and is like earth's sunglasses.
Ozone
What powers the earths weather?
Energy from the Sun
Because the earth is a sphere, it does not travel at the same speed. This causes wind to spin in different directions.

Thermosphere
Which air is most dense?
Cold air/ Warm air
Cold Air
Direction of storms in the southern hemisphere.

Which cycle can assimilate, get absorbed, and give nutrients to the soil.
Nitrogen
Which layer of the Atmosphere is where weather occurs?
Troposphere
What are the two most common gases found throughout all the layers?
Nitrogen & Oxygen
What causes clouds to form?
When the water vapor in the air condenses into visible water droplets
What causes winds
Unequal Heating of the earth.
Which of the cycles is currently off balance and due to being off balance it is causing global climate change.
Carbon
Which layer is also part phases into space.
Exosphere
Layer of the atmosphere contains most of the gases on earth and I live in.
What is the Troposphere
Rising air creates an area of low pressure.
What creates rain in rainforests
This causes the different seasons
One word
Tilt of the earth.
Which enzyme can convert nitrogen from air into ammonia?
Nitrogenase
Why is the Atmosphere important?
Contains oxygen
Traps heat
Protects us from the suns uv rays
Traps air
traps water
How do air masses flow?
From areas of high pressure (cold) to area of low pressure (warm)
Direction of a storm in northern hemisphere
Counterclockwise
The reason the tilt of the earth causes the change of seasons.
The tilt of earth causes the sun's focus to change every 1/4 of the year.
