The atmosphere contains 21% of this gas which is required for animals to live, and fires to burn.
What is oxygen gas?
100
All weather occurs in this layer
What is the troposphere?
100
This is the base unit of measurement for mass
What is grams?
200
This layer of the atmosphere contains the ozone layer.
What is the stratosphere
200
This type of heat transfer occurs as heat moves through a solid.
What is conduction
200
The atmosphere is 78% this gas
What is nitrogen gas?
200
Planes fly at the bottom of this layer
What is the stratosphere?
200
There are 1000 grams in this unit of measurement
What is a kilogram?
300
These are the five layers of the atmosphere
What are the troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere, the thermosphere and the exosphere?
300
This type of heat transfer involves the circular motion of fluids as they heat up, become less dense, and cool to a more dense state, causing them to fall.
What is convection?
300
Excess amounts of this gas result in higher humidity and cloud formation
What is water vapor?
300
In this layer of the atmosphere, meteors burn up
What is the mesosphere?
300
A graduated cylinder measures this type of unit
What is volume?
400
This layer of the atmosphere is sometimes considered outer space.
What is the exosphere?
400
This type of heat transfer does not require any particles to transfer energy.
What is radiation?
400
This gas is the contributing factor in "bad air", but also filters out UV light from the sun.
What is ozone (O3)
400
The space shuttle orbits in this layer of the atmosphere
What is the thermosphere?
400
A balance or scale measures this type of unit
What is mass?
500
Air pressure in this layer of the atmosphere is higher than any other layer.
What is the troposphere?
500
This type of heat transfer is responsible for the ocean breeze one feels at the beach
What is convection?
500
This is the main green house gas produced by humans.
What is Carbon Dioxide? (CO2)
500
Most satellites orbit in this layer of the atmosphere
What is the exosphere?
500
These are the four main topics of Earth Science
What is meteorology, oceanography, geology, and astronomy?
