MEMES
the most abundant gas in the atmosphere
nitrogen
the layer where weather is found
troposphere
Spinning of wind from spinning of the earth is called
Coriolis Effect
High pressure means the density of air is thick and the temperature is....
low (cold-Cool)
the gas that makes up about 21% of the atmosphere
oxygen
where the ozone layer is found
stratosphere
rotation of earth, Temperate and ___________ cause wind
pressure
instrument that measures air pressure
barometer
excess of this gas contributes to global warming
carbon dioxide or methane or any greenhouse gas
the "hot layer" of the atmosphere Where the ISS (Space Station) and satellites are
thermosphere
warm air rises because cool air.....
pushes it up
this happens to air pressure as altitude increases
decreases
Average of temperature and weather over time
Climate
the layer of electrically charged particles and the Northern Lights
ionosphere
cool air takes up less space so we can say it....
contracts
as the density of air increases, the air pressure does this
increases
condition of the earth's atmosphere at a particular time and place
weather
Layer that protects us from Meteors
Mesosphere
What is formed when a high pressure and low pressure area "battle"
weather, clouds and/or fronts
Low pressure means the density of air is thin and the temperature is....
high (hot-warm)
