The Air Around You
This percent never changes even as you change altitude
Oxygen percent
two types of barometers
mercury and aneroid
how many layers are there what are they
4, troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere
photochemical smog is caused by chemical reaction to
sunlight
How much percent oxygen is in the atmosphere
21%
how do the two types of barometers differ
aneroid has a dial and a tube filled with air that has thin sides that reacts to change in pressure
in the troposphere is it colder or warmer at differing elevations
higher the colder
weathering of national monuments increases or decreases with air quality
increases
mass/volume
how do we measure pressure
millibars
How can ozone be beneficial and detrimental
good, protection from radiation,
bad, created by burning of fossil fuels which impacts air quality
improvements to air quality can be made by
cleaner vehicle emissions
better forms of renewable energy ect.
how could we demonstrate that air has mass
weigh a basketball flat and inflated
Why is studying air pressure important to meteorologists
pressures influence the weather patterns
what is the aurora borealis and where are they located
lights due to the electrically charged particles within the ionosphere
How could improved air quality be proven to lower health costs
why is the Declaration of Independence enclosed in an air tight bullet proof box
prevent aging and safety
why might we have engine issues as we go up a mountain in Colorado
oxygen is less dense as we increase in elevation and cars need air.
what would happen if air pressure only went one direction
things would not be able to maintain shape
If a satellite is launched into space where is it actually located
exosphere
How could we create an experiment to test how air quality differs based on the weather.
something based on capturing air particles over and extended amount of time
who are the 4 presidents on Mount Rushmore, and why would I ask this
Lincoln, Jefferson, Washington, Roosevelt. They are made from granite which erodes 1 inch per 10,000 years therefore the nose of one head at 240 inches would take 2.4 million years and the heads should last 7 million years
