Atmosphere
Which layer of the atmosphere contains ozone? (also 2nd layer up)
stratosphere
Heat/energy transfer between things that are touching
conduction
high, wispy clouds that are usually acutally ice crystals
Technology invented for space exploration, but is now used for other reasons
spinoff technology
a push or pull
force
Which layer of the atmosphere makes the northern lights sometimes? (also the 4th layer)
thermosphere
The amount of space something takes up
volume
a measure of how much moisture is in the air compared to the max amount at that temperature
percent/relative humidity
rotation of earth; as we spin toward the sun it is day, turned away = night
measurements with magnitude, but NO direction
scalar
What is the most abundant gas in our atmosphere?
nitrogen
The compactness of the particles of a material, in other words, mass divided by volume
density
The temperature that air would be cooled to before it would be considered saturated
dew point
Describe what causes seasons
tilt of earth; tilted toward sun in summer and away in winter; spring and fall are just between points
any scenario where the net force on an object is zero
equilibrium
greenhouse effect
Mass
A measure of how fast the particles of something are moving
temperature
What would cause a lunar eclipse?
earth's shadow falls on the moon
The rule that states an object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless there is an unbalanced force
Newton's 1st Law of Motion
This layer of the atmosphere has very few molecules of air and simply fades into space
exosphere
heat/energy transfer that occurs as some fluid rises and some sinks
convection
Flat, sheet-like clouds that might be associated with overcast days or long-rains
stratus
The darker areas of the moon are called...
maria
If someone walks 5m west and then 7m east, how far are they from where they started? (use logic or add the vectors!)
2m east
