As the Wind Blows
Something in the air
Is it warm in here?
Mixed bag
100
This is where Earth gets most of its energy.
The Sun
100
The most abundant gas in Earth's atmosphere.
What is Nitrogen?
100
The layer of atmosphere that contains the ozone.
What is the stratosphere?
100
The measure of average kinetic energy of particles.
What is temperature?
100
It protects Earth from the Sun's harmful solar radiation.
What is the ozone layer?
200
The type of energy transfer that happens from the Sun.
What is radiation?
200
The apparent curving of the winds due to Earth's rotation.
What is the Corialis effect?
200
This layer of the atmosphere may not feel hot, but temperatures can be 1500 degrees Celcius or higher!
What is the thermosphere?
200
The TOTAL kinetic energy of particles.
What is Thermal energy.
200
It decreases in all layers of the atmosphere as altitude increases.
What is air pressure?
300
The energy transfer that happens in the lava lamp.
What is convection?
300
The movement of air caused by differences in air pressure.
What is wind?
300
Also known as the 'middle' layer of the atmosphere.
What is the mesosphere?
300
The increase of volume that results from an increase in temperature.
What is thermal expansion?
300
The reason we have the Coriolis effect.
What is the Earth's rotation?
400
The energy transfer that happens when you put your hand on something cold.
What is conduction?
400
Narrow belts of high-speed winds that blow from west to east.
What are jet streams?
400
The part of the atmosphere where weather takes place.
What is the troposphere.
400
The energy that is transferred between objects that are at different temperatures.
What is Heat?
400
Wind systems at or near Earth's surface.
What are global winds?
500
They are 3 spheres in which convection takes place.
What is Atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere.
500
They are in both hemispheres near the equator and they blow west.
What are tradewinds?
500
The four layers of the atmosphere in order from lowest to highest.
What is Troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere.
500
The property that explains the different rates at which materials become warmer or cooler.
What is Specific Heat?
500
This is what causes an area of high pressure.
What is cool air sinking?
