100
99% of all weather occurs here
What is Troposphere
100
I am the most abundant gas in the atmosphere.
What is Nitrogen?
100
I am the source of heat for the Earth.
What is the Sun?
100
Blanket of a gas mixture that surrounds the earth.
What is the atmosphere?
100
This type of system usually brings fair, sunny, and cooler weather.
What is a high pressure system?
200
Most abundant gas in the atmosphere.
What is Nitrogen?
200
Instrument used to measure changes in air pressure.
What is Barometer?
200
Region of the Earth that gets the most direct rays.
What is the Equator?
200
Science that deals with the atmosphere, especially with weather and weather forecasting.
What is Meteorology?
200
This type of system usually brings precipitation weather.
What is low pressure system?
300
The Ozone in this layer absorbs energy from the sun and heats up this layer. The temperature rises as you move upward.
What is Stratosphere?
300
I absorb ultraviolet rays in the stratosphere.
What is Ozone layer?
300
I transfer heat through Solid, such as Pots and Pans.
What is Conduction?
300
I am 5% of the atmosphere in humid regions.
What is water vapor?
300
System in which the molecules are close together and moving slowly.
What is high air pressure?
400
Middle layer where meteors burn up.
What is Meteorology?
400
I decrease as elevation increases.
What is air pressure?
400
Gases are made up of these small particles.
What are molecules?
400
We are the two layers that make up the thermosphere.
What are the exosphere and the ionosphere?
400
The surface wind circulation around the center of a high pressure system.
What is clockwise and spiraling outward?
500
Radiation from the sun heats this area, causing the temperature to rise as you move upward.
What is Thermosphere
500
Nice and clear weather.
What is high pressure?
500
Air temperature is usually measured with this instrument.
What is a thermometer?
500
Shooting stars are seen up in this layer.
What is the mesosphere?
500
Higher altitude less pressure.
What is the relationship between altitude and pressure?
