100
THE MASS OF THE AIR MOLECULES PUSHING ON OBJECTS
what is the definition of air pressure?
100
GOOD OZONE IS IN THE STRATOSPHERE/BAD OZONE IS IN THE TROPOSPHERE OZONE ABSORBS UV RAYS THAT ARE HARMFUL WHEN IN THE STRATOSPHERE BUT THEY CAUSE LUNG AND BREATHING PROBLEMS WHEN IT IS IN THE TROPOSPHERE
What is When is ozone “good” and when is it “bad”? Why?
100
TROPOSPHERE, STRATOSPHERE, MESOSPHERE, THERMOSPHERE
What is What are the four main layers of the atmosphere (in order from Earth’s surface).
100
VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS, BURNING FORESTS, ETC
What is What are some natural sources of greenhouse gases?
100
true
True or False: Basically, the water that we use today has been around for 3-4 billion years.
200
IF YOU PRESS ON AN INFLATED BALLOON, AIR HAS LESS ROOM INSIDE THE BALLOON AND EVENTUALLY THE PRESSURE WILL CAUSE IT TO POP
What is How do we know that air exerts pressure?
200
THE THINNING IS CAUSED BY CFC (CHLOROFLOUROCARBONS) THAT ARE FOUND IN AEROSOL SPRAYS, AIR CONDITIONING, FOAMS. THE CHLORINE ATOM FLOATS UP TO THE STRATOSPHERE AND REACTS WITH OZONE TO FORM OXYGEN. IT CAN NO LONG ABSORB UV RAYS
What is the cause of the thinning of the ozone layer in the stratosphere? What are some of the solutions?
200
TEMPERATURE DATA. TEMPERATURE GOES UP, THEN DOWN, THEN UP, THEN DOWN AS YOU GO HIGHER INTO THE ATMOSPHERE
What is What data did scientists use to divide the atmosphere into layers?
200
BOTH OF THEM KEEP THE EARTH WARM. BOTH OF THEM SHARE THE SAME GREENHOUSE GASES. GLOBAL WARMING IS PRIMARILY AN OVERABUNDANCE OF CO2 CAUSED BY BURNING FOSSIL FUELS. GREENHOUSE EFFECT IS CAUSED BY GASES PRODUCED NATURALLY (VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS, BURNING FORESTS, ETC)
What is How are Global Warming and the Greenhouse the same? How are they different?
200
BECAUSE THEY ARE WATER DROPLETS, NOT GAS
Why can we see the clouds?
300
IF YOU PLACE AN INFLATED BALLOON IN THE FREEZER IT WILL SHRINK, OR GET SMALLER BECAUSE THE AIR MOLECULES HAVE LITTLE ENERGY; IF YOU PLACE THE BALLOON IN A BOWL OF HOT WATER, THE BALLOON WILL EXPAND, BECAUSE THE AIR HAS MORE ENERGY.
What is How do we know that hot air rises and cold air sinks?
300
Burning fossil fuels releases ozone and particles which combine with fog to create smog. Reduce gas emissions (improve cars), drive hybrids or electric cars
What is the cause of ozone/smog? What are some of the solutions?
300
EXOSPHERE
What is the 5th layer?
300
TOO MANY GREENHOUSE GASES CAUSE THE EARTH TO BECOME OVERLY WARM
What is Global Warming?
300
120
what is the temperature in fahrenheit when water boils?
400
COMPRESSED MEANS PUSHED TOGETHER IN A SMALLER SPACE. WHEN WE SQUEEZED THE BOTTLE, WATER WENT INTO THE CARTESIAN DIVER AND COMPRESSED THE AIR INSIDE.
What is How do we know that air is compressed?
400
POLLUTION THAT IS WIDESPREAD AND HAS MANY SOURCES SUCH AS BURNING FOSSIL FUELS INCREASING THE LEVELS OF CO2 IN THE ATMOSPHERE
What is nonpoint source pollution? What is an example?
400
TROPOSPHERE/MESOSPHERE GET COLDER AS ALTITUDE INCREASES STRATOSPHERE/THERMOSPHERE GET HOTTER AS ALTITUDE INCREASES
What is Compare/contrast the 4 main layers by temperature and altitude
400
IMPORTANT GASES IN THE ATMOSPHERE (CO2, WATER VAPOR, METHANE) WRAP AROUND THE EARTH LIKE A BLANKET AND KEEP ALL THE HEAT FROM REFLECTING BACK INTO SPACE
What is What is the Greenhouse effect?
400
EVAPORATION OF WATER FROM THE LEAVES OF PLANTS, WATER INCREASES HEAT ENERGY AND MOLECULES FROM OCEAN/LAKES/LAND CHANGE FROM LIQUID TO GAS AND RISE UP IN THE ATMOSPHERE, Water vapor cools (loses energy) and returns to liquid state, WATER ON EARTH’S SURFACE THAT IS NOT EVAPORATED OR ABSORBED INTO THE GROUND, WATER DROPLETS IN THE FORM OF WATER OR ICE, CONTINUOUS RECYCLING OF WATER
What is the definition of:a. Transpiration, b. Evaporation, c. Condensation, d. Runoff, e. Precipitation, f. Water Cycle
500
ALL OF THEM DECREASE
What is What happens to air pressure , air temperature, and air density as altitude increases and decreases in the troposphere?
500
POLLUTION THAT HAS ONE SOURCE, CAN BE TRACED BACK TO A SOURCE, SUCH AS A COMPANY BLOWING UNTREATED GASES OUT INTO THE ATMOSPHERE
What is point source pollution? What is an example?
500
TROPOSPHERE, TROPOSPHERE, STRATOSPHERE, THERMOSPHERE/EXOSPHERE , TROPOSPHERE, MESOSPHERE, THERMOSPHERE, STRATOSPHERE, UPPER TROPOSPHERE
What is In which layer(s) do – people live?fly?Jets fly?Satellites orbit in?where most weather occurs?Where meteors burn up?Where sound waves travel?Where UV radiation is absorbed?WHERE IS THE JET STREAM?
500
78% NITROGEN, 21% OXYGEN, 1% OTHER (CO2, WATER VAPOR, ARGON)
What is Which gases make up the atmosphere? (Give gases and %)
500
EVAPORATION/TRANSPIRATION, CONDENSATION, FREEZING PRECIPITATION
What is Which phase(s) of the water cycle: g. Changes water’s state of matter from liquid to gas h. Changes water’s state of matter from gas to liquid i. Changes water’s state of matter from liquid to solid
