Layers of the Atmosphere
Characteristics of the layers of the atmosphere
CFC's
Heat/Temperature
Miscellaneous
100
This layer is above the troposphere.
What is the stratosphere?
100
This layer is the hottest?
What is Thermosphere?
100
These atoms make up CFC's
What is Chlorine, Flourine, Carbon
100
This is the lowering and raising of temperature in the atmosphere.
What is the temperature gradient?
100
Used to measure pressure in the atmosphere
What is a barometer?
200
This layer is the "middle" layer
What is the mesosphere?
200
This layer is where all of our weather occurs.
What is the Troposphere?
200
This particular atom in CFC's is the one that destroys the ozone.
What is Chlorine?
200
This is the energy that is transferred as a consequence of temperature differences?
What is heat?
200
Average atmospheric pressure in pounds per square inch at sea level
What is 14.7lbs/inch squared
300
The first layer of the atmosphere where we live.
What is the troposphere?
300
This layer has the ozone layer within it.
What is the stratosphere?
300
What CFC stands for
What is Chlorofluorocarbons?
300
This is the measure of the energy of random motion in a substance's molecules
What is temperature?
300
In the unit of atmospheric pressure mmHg. Hg stands for this.
What is Mercury?
400
The outermost layer of the atmosphere.
What is Exosphere?
400
In this layer, atoms are ionized.
What is Ionosphere?
400
CFC's were given this name by the DuPont company.
What is Freon?
400
The layers of the atmosphere in which the temperature goes from hot to cold.
What is the troposphere and mesosphere?
400
These are the result of high energy collisions between ionized particles in the ionosphere.
What are the auroras? or What is the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis?
500
Layers of the atmosphere that serve as a transition area between the layers. (name all four)
What is the Tropopause, Stratopause, Mesopause, Thermopause??
500
Division of the layers of the atmosphere into two groups, based on composition of air.
What are the homosphere and heterosphere?
500
This instrument measures the energy of random motion in a substance's molecules
What is a thermometer?
500
Ozone layer depletion is in part a natural process caused by this.
What is the Polar Vortex?
