What is the Troposphere
100
Pushes a system to a new state of equilibrium
What is a Positive Feedback Mechanism
100
The Atmosphere can be divided into layers based on
What is Temperature changes at different heights.
100
The Biosphere consists of:
What is All living things on Earth
200
The Earth is a ________ System
What is a Close System
200
Protects us from ultraviolet rays.
What is the Ozone Layer
200
Imagine you are out walking in the country. As you walk, the sun rises higher in the sky and the air temperature increases. Your body senses that your internal temperature is rising above 370C and you start to sweat, which reduces your body temperature by evaporating water from your skin, returning your temperature to normal
What is Negative Feedback Mechanism
200
Ozone layer is located in
What is the Stratosphere
200
The three types of systems
What is Open, Close, Isolated
300
Can enter into Earth's atmosphere
What is Sun's ultraviolet rays
300
Coldest layer of the atmosphere
What is the mesophere
300
Pushes a system back to its original equilibrium
What is a Negative Feedback Mechanism.
300
Temperature ________ in the Stratosphere
What is Increase
300
System that can be compared to a vacuum
What is An Isolated System
400
Consists of all Earth's Water
What is the Hydrosphere
400
Separates the Mesosphere from the next level
What is the Mesopause
400
Either change a system to a new state or return it to its original state.
What is a Feedback Mechanism
400
Temperature _______ the higher you go in the Tropospere.
What is Decreases
400
Troposphere, Stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere
What is The Four Main Layers of the Atmosphere
500
The processes we see on earth today happened in the past.
What is The Principle of Uniformitarianism
500
Satellites can be found in this level
What is the Thermosphere
500
Imagine you are lost on a high snowy mountain. When your body senses that it is cooling below 370C, various mechanisms such as shivering help to raise your internal temperature again, but if these are insufficient to restore normal body temperature, your metabolic processes start to slow down, as, like most chemical reactions, they happen more slowly at lower temperatures. As a result you become lethargic and sleepy and move around less and less, allowing your body to cool even further. Unless you are rescued at this point, your body will reach a new equilibrium – you will die of hypothermia.
