Atmosphere
Weather
Are you dense?
Climate
seasons and the sun
100
That is the definition of atmosphere!
What are the layers of gasses that surround our planet?
100
That is the definition of weather!
What is the state of the atmosphere at a specific time and place?
100
That is density.
What is the mass divided by the volume?
100
That's the definition of Climate
What is the pattern of weather in an area over a long period of time.
100
This powerhouse radiates energy
What is the sun?
200
This is the most abundant gas in the atmophere.
What is Nitrogen?
200
This happens when a high pressure air mass moves toward a low pressure air mass.
What is wind?
200
The particles in it move faster and are usually spaced farther apart.
What happens when you heat something?
200
This region will have warmer winters and cooler summers because water takes longer to heat up and cool down.
What is a coastal region?
200
This lowers as you move farther from the equator, and also early in the morning and later in the day.
What is solar angle?
300
This happens to atmospheric pressure as you go higher in the atmosphere
When does atmospheric pressure decrease?
300
This is the result of large difference in pressure and small distances between the two air masses.
What produces HIGH winds?
300
The units associated with density
grams per ml
300
The higher the altitude, the less molecules there are to absorb the heat re-radiated from the ground, so the temperature is colder.
What is the effect of altitude on climate?
300
Polaris
What is the star that Earth's axis tilts toward.
400
Layer of the atmophere that protects you from the sun's harmful rays.
What is the ozone layer
400
These are 3 steps in the water cycle
What are evaporation, condensation and precipitation?
400
This changes depending on gravity, even though the amount of matter is the same.
What is weight?
400
Pollution and green house gases in the atmosphere can cause this climate change.
what is global warming?
400
One is 24 hours and the other is 365 days
What is the difference between Earth's rotaion and orbit?
500
These are the names of the layers of the atmosphere from the ground up.
What are the Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Exosphere?
500
The sky will be clear but the temperatures will be cooler when an area is affected by this type of pressure system.
What is a high pressure system?
500
This happens when the same number of particles take up more space.
When does an object become less dense?
500
The higher the altitude, the less molecules there are to absorb the heat re-radiated from the ground, so the temperature is colder.
What is the effect of altitude on climate?
500
This causes seasons in the Northern Hemisphere to be opposite of the seasons in the Southern Hemishere.
