100
The layer of the atmosphere that the ozone layer is found in.
What is the stratosphere?
100
The process where energy (heat) travels as electromagnetic waves through space.
What is radiation?
100
This is what causes the differences of length of day around the Earth.
What is Earth's tilted axis?
100
This is when liquid water is heated and turns into water vapor.
What is evaporation?
100
This is a large body of air that is named for its characteristics of temperature and moisture.
What is an air mass?
200
The layer of Earth's atmosphere that weather happens in.
What is the troposphere?
200
The process where heat travels through physical touch.
What is conduction?
200
This is the seasons when the Earth's northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun.
What is winter in the Northern Hemisphere?
200
This is when water vapor cools and turns into liquid water.
What is condensation?
200
There are four types that happen when two or more air masses collide with each other.
What is a front?
300
The layer of the atmosphere where the air is most dense.
What is the troposphere?
300
The process where heat travels through fluids creating an up and down flow current.
What is convection?
300
This is why the days are hotter at the equator than at the poles.
What happens when the equator receives more direct sunlight?
300
This is when water vapor is given off to the atmosphere through plants.
What is transpiration?
300
This is the direction air moves in (wind).
What goes from high to low air pressure areas?
400
This is what happens to the air pressure inside of a syringe when the plunger is pushed down.
What is increased pressure?
400
Heat energy from the sun is transferred to Earth through this process.
What is radiation?
400
This is the location on earth that sometimes receives 24 hours of daylight (poles or equators).
What is the poles?
400
This is one of the factors that influences a location's climate.
What is latitude, topography, ocean currents or prevailing winds?
400
This is the SECOND largest reservoir of water on Earth.
What are glaciers and ice caps?
500
These are the ways in which air gets its heat (types of heat transfer).
What is radiation, conduction and convection?
500
This is what water does when it is heated up at the bottom of a pot; it becomes ______ dense and ______.
What is less dense and rises?
500
This is the location on Earth that has the same amount of daylight hours throughout the year.
What is the equator?
500
These are the three main greenhouse gases.
What are Carbon dioxide, water vapor, and Methane?
500
This is the relative humidity (%) when a body of air has reached the dew point.
What is 100%?
