Atmosphere Layers
The Hottest layer in the atmosphere
What is Thermosphere?
The force of air molecules pushing on the Earth
What is Air Pressure
This is any atmospheric condition that causes damage, destruction, and loss of property.
What is Severe Weather
This is the first half of a hypothesis, what the scientist is changing
What is an Independent Variable
This measures air pressure
What is a barometer
The coldest layer in the atmosphere; protects the Earth from meteors.
What is the Mesosphere
As air pressure decreases, temperature does this..
What is Decreases
This storm creates strong, rotating columns of air from a thunderstorm
What is a tornado?
The second half of a hypothesis, what the scientist measures
What is the Dependent Variable
This measures humidity
what is a hygrometer
What is Temperature
As altitude increases, air pressure does this...
Decreases
This storm forms over warm ocean waters and is considered one of the most destructive types of storms.
What is a hurricane
A variable that stays the same thought the experimental process.
What is a constant
This is the presence of water vapor in the air
What is humidty
The phrase we use to remember the layers of the atmosphere.
What is The Mean Stinky Troll
This type of air pressure creates sunny, clear days.
What is High Air Pressure
This occurs when cold air pushes warm air, causing it to rise and creating quick thunderstorms or snow storms
What is a cold front
A variable that does not receive the independent variable; it is considered the "normal" of the experiment
What is a control
The percent of oxygen in the atmosphere
What is 21%
The layers in the atmosphere from space to Earth.
What is, Thermosphere, Mesosphere, Stratosphere, Troposphere.
This is the reason there is lower air pressure as altitude increases
Gravity pulls air molecules down toward the Earth
This occurs when warm air slides up and over cold air, creating long lasting rain.
What is a warm front
The independent variable in the phrase "If I use milk to clean my shower, then it get rid of the slime."
What is milk
The percent of nitrogen in the atmosphere
what is 78%
