The Spectrum

100

Name the slowest to fastest EM spectrum of visable light. 

RED, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet, Indego 

200

fog or haze combined with smoke and other atmospheric pollutants.

smog

300

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

Aurora's

400

Energy is tranfered in these three ways 

Conduction, converction, radiation

500

Name the slowest to fastest moving Radiation from the detectable spectrum. 

Radio Waves, Micro waves, Infared light, Visable Light, UV (Ultraviolet Light), Xrays, Gama Rays 

Layers

100

This is the First Layer of the Atmosphere, where all life exists on the Earth. 

Troposphere 

200

This is the second layer of the Athmosphere, That contains the OZONE layer.

Stratophere

300

This is the third layer of the atmosphere, where metrors have a tendency to burn up 

Mesophere 

400

This is the fourth layer of the Earths Atmoshere, This area displays the Aurora.

Thermosphere 

500

This is the last layer of the Earths Atmosphere, it is the largest bu size but not volume and this is the layer that the International Space station is located in 

Exosphere 

Tools, tech and data

100

This is a tool that is used to measure atmospheric Pressure. Name Both types

Aneroid Barometer and a mercury barometer. 

200

This is the wrod used to describe the tilt of the Earth when it is equilateral of the suns Rays. It occurs two times per revolution around the sun 

Equinox 

300

is based on the weather observations that have been collected over many years. (helps describe weather)

Climate

400

This is the Key gas that allows weather to occur on Earth 

Water Vapor

500

This is a key Greenhouse gas that is produce by buring fossil fuels at electrical plants, When entering the atmoshpere it tends to desroy O2 and does not disapate. 

Sulfur Trioxide 

Definitions and word ID

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 

200

refers to the state of the atmosphere at any given time and place. (weather is always changing).

Weather

300

The Layer that traps greenhouse gases and protects the Earth from the suns radiation. Where we see the illumination of our planet in all directions.

OZONE Layer

400

This is a laboratory in the Earths exosphere, where astronauts conduct experiments and internationally share data

ISS (International Space Station)

500

2. What happens to an area of high to low pressure? Provide an example

1. Implosion 

2. Explosion 

I should have studied

100

Thes are the three types of Radiation 

Alpha, Beta, and Gamma

200

Name it and date it. 

This is the name given to the precice moment where the Northern Hemisphere is tilted the closest to the earth creating the longest exposure to sun light.
