The Oceans
This ocean surrounds Antarctica
What is the Southern Ocean?
The attraction among molecules that are alike
What is cohesion?
The area of atmosphere where we live
What is Troposphere?
This is pollution from run-off from cities and urban areas
What is Nonpoint source pollution?
This is a layer in the stratosphere with high concentrations of ozone
What is the ozone layer?
This is the largest and deepest ocean
What is the Pacific Ocean?
The attraction of molecules that are not alike
What is adhesion?
The area of atmosphere above where we live
What is Stratosphere?
Pollution from sewers, cars and factories
What is point source pollution?
These are the 6 gases in the atmosphere
What are oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, ozone, argon, and water vapor?
This ocean is near the North Pole
What is the Artic Ocean?
A transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles of matter?
What is conduction?
The area of the atmosphere where you might find a satellite
What is the Exosphere?
These include water vapor, methane, and carbon dioxide
What are greenhouse gases?
This is why asteroids burn up as they travel throguh the mesophere and thermosphere
What is friction in those two layers?
This ocean is between Africa, India, and the Indonesian Islands.
What is the Indian Ocean?
A transfer of thermal energy by the movement of particles within matter
What is convection?
The area of atmosphere between 50-100 miles above the earth
What is the mesophere?
This is when gases trap the sun's energy and send it back to earth instead of emitting it back towards space
What is the Greenhouse effect?
This is altitude's effect on air density
What is Gravity's pull on air increases its density. HIgher altitudes have less gravity pull and therefore less dense air?
This ocean is between us and Europe
What is the Atlantic Ocean?
Energy carried by an Electromagnetic wave
What is radiation?
The thickest layer of atmosphere
What is the thermosphere?
This is a nitrogen based compund often used in fertilizers
What are nitrates?
This is a mixture of dust, acids, and other chemicals that can be harmful to human health
What is particulate matter?
