The measure of the fourth with which air molecules push on the surface
Air pressure
Between stratosphere and thermosphere in which temperature decreases as altitude increase
mesosphere
The warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of earth when gas is trap and
green house affect
protects life on earth from harmful ultraviolet rays
ozone layer
A mixture of gases that surround a planet
atmosphere
The transfer of energy through a material
thermal conductor
the movement of air caused by differences in air preasure
wind
air circulations by Coriolis effect and convection cells
global winds
The layer of the atmosphere above the troposphere and which temperature increases as altitude
Stratosphere
Energy transferred as electromagnetic waves ( ex: sun)
radiation
During Day land heats up faster than ocean water warm low pressure Rises up and cool high pressure air over ocean rushes towards land
Sea Breeze
Energy transfer through touch
Conduction
The uppermost layer of the atmosphere temperature increases with altitude
thermosphere
Movement of matter due to density temperature hot rises is cold sinks
convection
at night land cools quickly and the ocean water holds heat longer the warm ocean rises ( low pressure) and the cooler ( high pressure ) air over land rushes from land towards the sea.
land breeze
the contamination of the atmosphere by the introduction of pollutants from humans and natural reasons.
air pollution
Lowest layer of the atmosphere temperature decreases as altitude increases
troposphere
