100
Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere.
What are the layers of the atmosphere.
100
Stormy weather happens at this pressure.
What type of weather happens when there is low pressure?
100
Measures temperature.
What is a thermometer?
100
Oxygen.(100-300 are about the abundances of these gases)
What is the second most abundant gas?
100
They stay still.
How do stationary fronts move?
200
This part of the atmosphere has the ozone layer.
What does the stratosphere contain?
200
Sunny weather happens at this pressure.
What type of weather happens when there is high pressure?
200
Measures wind speed.
What is an anemometer?
200
Nitrogen.(100-300 are about the abundances of these gases)
What is the most abundant gas?
200
Move from Southwest to Northeast.
How do warm fronts move?
300
What layer of the atmosphere has the ionosphere.
What does the thermosphere contain?
300
The Troposphere has it happening in it.
At what layer does weather happen?
300
Measures wind direction
What is a weather vane?
300
Argon.(100-300 are about the abundances of these gases)
What is the 3rd most abundant gas?
300
Moves from northwest to southeast.
How do cold fronts move?
400
This layer contains the highest concentration of gas particles in the atmosphere.
What does the troposphere contain?
400
Wind is made by these movements.
What do convection currents make?
400
Measures air pressure.
What is a barometer?
400
carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, methane, and ozone are part of this group of gas.
What are trace gases?
400
Becomes stationary front.
What happens when a cold front and a warm front meet?
500
For there are fewer air molecules as altitude increases.
Why does air pressure decrease from the troposphere to the exosphere?
500
It causes winds to move to the right in the northern hemisphere.
What is the Coriolis effect?
500
Measures humidity.
What is a hygrometer?
500
CO2 has the most main part in causing this.
What causes global warming?
500
When 2 cold fronts trap a warm front in between.
How is an Occluded Front formed.
