Pressure.
What is the force pushing on an area of the surface, it is a denser substance that has more mass per unit volume than a less dense one?
200
There are 3 minor layers and 4 major layers, which means there are 7 in all. All the minor layers are Ozonosphere, Ionosphere, and Exosphere. The 4 major layers are Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, and Thermosphere.
What is the amount of layers in the atmosphere? ( Minor and Major layers all together.) Name the minor layers? Name the major layers?

Conduction, convection, and radiation.
What is the name of all three heat transfers?
300
The cause of acid rain is from power plants and factories from burning coal and oil. These gases react with water vapor in the air, forming nitric acid and sulfuric acid.
What is the cause of acid rain?
300
Density is the amount in a given volume of air.
What is the amount of mass in a given volume of air?
300
The Troposphere because all the other layers put pressure on the layer on the bottom.
What is the densest layer of the atmosphere?
300
The three different types of radiation are visible light, infrared radiation, and a small amount of ultraviolet radiation.
What are the names of the three different types of radiation?
300
The definition for conduction is a direct transfer of heat from one substance to another substance that is touching.
What is the definition of conduction?
400
Photochemical Smog is a thick, brownish haze formed when certain gases in the air react to the sunlight.
What is photochemical smog?

The mercury barometer and aneroid barometer are the two types of barometers.
What is the two types of barometers people use to measure air pressure?
400
The definition of Mesosphere is middle.
What is the definition of Mesosphere?
400
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, or as it is called ROYGBIV.
What is the colors in the visible light spectrum?

When acid rain falls into a pond or lake, it changes the conditions there. Many fish, and particularly their eggs, cannot survive in more acidic water. It also damages plants, damages buildings, and whole forests have been destroyed by acid rain.
What is the effect on the environment after acid rain has fallen?
500
