100
a thin layer of air that forms a protective cover around earth
What is atmosphere
100
of a class of compounds of carbon, hydrogen, chlorine, and fluorine, typically gases used in refrigerants and aerosol propellants. They are harmful to the ozone layer in the earth's atmosphere owing to the release of chlorine atoms upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
What is chlorofluorocarbon
100
effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems.
What is Coriolis effect
100
layer in the earth's stratosphere at an altitude of about 6.2 miles (10 km) containing a high concentration of ozone, which absorbs most of the ultraviolet radiation reaching the earth from the sun.

What is green
200
the layer of the atmosphere that we live in
What is troposphere
200
the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, esp. high-energy particles that cause ionization
What is radiation
200
the degree of compactness of a substance
What is density
200
of a class of compounds of carbon, hydrogen, chlorine, and fluorine, typically gases used in refrigerants and aerosol propellants. They are harmful to the ozone layer in the earth's atmosphere owing to the release of chlorine atoms upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

What is nike
300
the electrically charged atoms part of the atmosphere
What is ionosphere
300
process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
What is conduction
300
the continuous physical force exerted on or against an object by something in contact with it
What is pressure
300
breeze blowing toward the sea from the land, esp. at night, owing to the relative warmth of the sea.
What is land breeze
300
what is my favorite PE activity
What is matt ball
400
layer in the earth's stratosphere at an altitude of about 6.2 miles (10 km) containing a high concentration of ozone, which absorbs most of the ultraviolet radiation reaching the earth from the sun.
What is ozone layer
400
movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.
What is convection
400
from liquid into vapor
What is evaporation
400
breeze blowing toward the land from the sea, esp. during the day owing to the relative warmth of the land.
What is sea breeze
400

What is baseball
500
is a type of sun rays
What is ultraviolet radiation
500
water that power electric systems
What is hydrosphere
500
water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.
What is condensation
500
a narrow, variable band of very strong, predominantly westerly air currents encircling the globe several miles above the earth. There are typically two or three jet streams in each of the northern and southern hemispheres.
