What is the greenhouse effect?
Gases in Earth's atmosphere absorning the sun's rays and trapping them in the atmosphere, causing the Earth to be warmer.

What are the 3 greenhouse gases?
What is carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor?
200
What is the difference in seasonal climate between the Northern and Southern hemispheres?
The southern hemisphere experiences the opposite season as the Northern hemisphere.
300
What happens to atmospheric pressure as you go higher in the atmosphere?
What is The atmospheric pressure decreases.

1. Name the layers of the atmosphere from the ground up. 2. What layer does weather occur in?
What is 1. Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Exosphere. 2. Troposphere
500
What kind of weather is associated with an occluded front?
What is storms and strong winds.
500
Explain why air on Earth circulates between the equator and the poles?
Earth’s surface temperature is greater near the equator than at the poles. This causes air to move
(circulate via convection) due to density of warm/cold air.
500
What are the polar regions warming up twice as fast as other regions?
The ice is melting, so there is less reflection going on and more absorption.
500
What is the measurement of Earth's axis
23.5 degrees
