200
The reaction of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxides in the atmosphere leads to this.
What is acid rain?
200
This increases as altitude decreases
What is pressure
200
The direction pressure flows.
What is from high to low?
200
The source of oxygen in the atmosphere?
What is photosynthesis?
300
The gas that makes up 21% of the atmosphere and is necessary to support human life on earth.
What is oxygen?
300
The source of methane production.
What are landfills?
300
The device used to measure air pressure.
What is a barometer?

The two sources of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
What is respiration and the burning of fossil fuels?
400
The density of an air sample with a volume of 40 mL and a mass of 10 grams.
What is .25 g/mL?
400
These comparatively large particles are produced by forest fires, dust storms, and volcanoes naturally, but human activity has elevated the amount found in the atmosphere.
What are particulates (dust, soot, smoke, pollen)
400
The spot a mountain climber experiences the greatest density of air when climbing a mountain.
What is the bottom of the mountain?
400
The two ingredients/conditions necessary for tropospheric ozone to form.
What is sunlight and car exhaust?
400
The health risks of tropospheric ozone.
What are breathing problems, asthma and eye irritation?
500
The type of barometer that uses a column of mercury rather than an airtight chamber to measure atmospheric pressure.
What is a mercury barometer?
500
Explain how important air quality is.
answers may vary
500
Draw a seabreeze. Label the high and low pressure areas of the atmosphere.
See drawing on board.
500
The chemistry behind the ozone detectors in class. How were you able to determine a reading of ozone from the strip?
Ozone reacted with the potassium iodide to form pure iodine. Iodine reacted with the cornstarch to turn purple/brown. The darker the color the more ozone present.
500
As you increase your altitude this happens to the percentage of oxygen in the air.
What is nothing? (there is no change in % of oxygen)
