100
This is constantly changing and it refers to the state of the atmosphere at any given time and place.
What is Weather?
100
There are ____ layers in the atmosphere.
What is Four?
100
This is the energy transferred from one object to another because of a difference in their temperatures.
What is Heat?
100
This heats more rapidly and to higher temperatures than water.
What is Land?
100
The incorporation and trans-portation of material by a mobile agent, usually water, wind, or ice is this?
What is Erosion?
200
This is based on observations of weather that have been collected over many years.
What is Climate?
200
This is the 2nd layer in the atmosphere.
What is Stratosphere?
200
This is the measure of averge kinetic energy of the individual atoms or molecules in a substance.
What is Temperature?
200
This is the fraction of total radiation that is reflected by any surface.
What is Albedo?
200
This forms in temperate climates with rainfall in excess of 63 cm. Also found in the Eastern half of the U.S.
What is Pedalfer?
300
This is the source of all clouds and precipitation, and it absorbs heat given off by Earth.
What is Water Vapor?
300
Temperature decreases with an increase of altitude in this layer of the atmosphere.
What is Troposphere?
300
This is the transfer of heat through matter by molecular activity.
What is Conduction?
300
Because this has a high albedo, it reflects a signifigant portion of sunlight that strikes them back to space.
What are Clouds?
300
This is a type of erosion where water flows across an area carrying soil particles.
What is Sheet erosion?
400
The Ozone absorbs this from the sun
What is UV Radiation?
400
The ozone layer is located in this layer of the atmosphere.
What is the Stratosphere?
400
This is the tranfer of heat by mass movement or circulation within a substance.
What is Convection?
400
At night, clouds act as a blanket by doing what to outgoing radiation that was emitted by Earth?
What is Absorbsion?
400
These are trenches formed as rills collect water.
What are Gullies?
500
A form of oxygen that combines three oxygen atoms.
What is Ozone?
500
This is the very top layer of the atmosphere.
What is the Thermosphere?
500
This energy can travel through the vacuum of space.
What is Radiant energy?
500
These are lines that connect points that have the same temperature.
What is Isotherms?
500
This has slow movement of soil and regolith downhill, and it causes fences and ulility poles to tilt.
