Why dose air pressure decrease from the troposphere to the exosphere.
The air molicules decrease as the altitude increases.
100
In what layer dose meteoroids burn up in?
The Mesosphere
100
How is each storm formed?
Blizzards:When strong winds pick up snow forming a blinding shower of white.
Flash Floods: When excess water from heavy rain cannot be absorbed into the ground so it builds up.
Thunderstorm: When hot moist air rises quickly to cooler parts of the atmosphere.
Hurricane: When strong storms in the ocean reach winds of at least 74 mph.
Tornado:When warm and cool airstreams meet.
100
Bruring fossial fules can cause what type of pollusion?
Greenhouse gases.
100
Extra question!!!
What will happen if our ozone layer gets too thin?
More Harmful UV rays will be able to enter Earth. (can hurt out skin)
200
Extra question!!!
What is the Coriolis Effect?
How the winds on our earth curve because Earth is always rotating.
200
How do we classifie the layers of the atmopher.
Temperature changes with altitude
200
What are the five major storms.
Tornado, Hurricane, Thunderstorm, Flash floods, Blizzards.
200
Why should we monitor air pollution?
Because if the air quality gets bad it can hurt you're lungs, heart, eyes.
200
What instrument is used to measure air pressure?
Baramenter
300
Describe the relationship between altitude and air pressure.
Air pressure generally decreases as altitude increases

What should you do if a Flash flood is coming youre way.
GET TO HIGH GROUND.
300
What is the greatest causes of pollusion?
The burning of fossil fuels

What are the scales to mesure each storm intensity.
Blizzard:How much snow falls and high the snow gets.
Flash Flood:measured by the amount of water in the flood.
Thunderstorm:ground-based weather radars.
Hurricane:Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale
Tornado:Fujita scale
500
Why would cities have more smog and acid rain than rural areas?
Concentration of human activities. (industrial processes, vehicle emissions, and energy consumption)
