Layers
EM Waves
What I can See, maybe
Definitions
Hanadel its May, Why do you make me think
100
The closest layer of the Athmosphere to the surface of the Earth. Layer that contains all life.
Troposphere
100
This type of wave is the slowest of all waves and must use an antenna to detect this frequency
Radio Waves.
100
Please list in order from slowest to fastest the visable light spectrum
ROY G. BIV
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
100
the way in which heat is trapped close to Earth's surface by gases. These heat-trapping gases can be thought of as a blanket wrapped around Earth, keeping the planet toastier than it would be without them.
Greenhouse Effect
100
WHat percentage of gas exists in thee Exophere in comparison to the Troposphere
.0004%
200
Layer of the Earth where Meteor showers are viewed. This layer protects our plannet from impacts.
Mesosphere.... Double Bonus Question. (ask students if they will accept the 2nd question)
200
This Fast moving wave has the ability to pass through the human body without detection but will need a sheet of film and lead to capature an image of an internal injury
X- Ray (Bonus question double points )
200
Three ways that radiation is transfered (think Greek)
Alpha, Beta, Gamma. (Daily Double)
200
a natural electrical phenomenon characterized by the appearance of streamers of reddish or greenish light in the sky, especially near the northern or southern magnetic pole.
The Aurora
200
WHat happens to an area of High to Low Pressure. Provide an example
A Baloon exploding (if studnets says the word "POP' Remove 500 points total )
300
Layer of the Earth that the Weather Baloons are sent to observe data for all global weather. This layer also contains the 0ZONE Layer
Stratosphere
300
The fastest moving waves detetable by man. Considered to move mat the speed of light. This wave can be detected by a giger counter
Gamma Waves
300
This occurs once per year where the Earth Axis is parallel to the Sun and there is no tilt twords or away from the sun
Autumn and SPring Equinox. (remeber the dates)
300
This is a laboratory in the Earths exosphere, where astronauts conduct experiments and internationally share data.
The International Space Station
300
What is Sulfur Trioxide? Where is it produced? How does it impact the plannet?
a chemical compound created by buring fossil fuels in electrical generation.
It is produced in power plants.
It impacts the plannet by slowing or stoping cellural respreration of plans and preventing photosynthesis.
400
Layer of the Earth where Humans bounce radio waves off of for communication. This layer ionizes Electrons changing the chemical structure of gasses in this layer
Ionosphere... (Double Bonus Question.)
400
These types of waves need a dish and a reciever to detect. They are slower moving waves, which today's technology would be called blue-tooth.
micro waves
400
This type of wave can be detected with a black light. Where visable light spectrum tends to "Glow"
Untraviolet Waves
400
is based on the weather observations that have been collected over many years. (helps describe weather)
Climate
400
When looking at the debate of global warming. How can you explain both sides of the argument by focusing on the changing density of the atmosphere, the connection to cellular respiration, and community organizations that are focusing on impact
Who What Where when and Why need to be answered.
How is sufure trioxide produced and the impact on cellural respiration.
The Unitited Nations and Global climate change.
What is the money used for, How can we make a positive impact. What are teh temperature changes that Already impacted our plannet (coral reefs, extintion of the white rino, ect.)
Developed essay for 15 points.
500
This layer is generally considered space. This layer contains the International Space Station and few other low Earth orbiting satalites.
Exoshpere
500
This type of wave is dedected by thermal technology and can be identified with a color of the speed of the wave.
Infarered waves
500
What are the two types of Baramoters? What do they measure?
Anarobic and Mercury Barometer. They measure the change in Air pressure.
500
The Layer that traps greenhouse gases and protects the Earth from the suns radiation. This thin layer is where we see the illumination of our planet in all directions.
OZONE Layer
500
1. Cold Front
2. Warm Front
3. Stationary Front
4. Occluded Front
