100
the most abundant gas in the atmosphere
nitrogen
100
the layer where weather is found
troposphere
100
What weather instrument is used to measure the amount of weather vapor in the air or humidity
hygrometer
100
air pressure gets greater or lessons as you increase altitude. Explain
Lessons because the air becomes less dense as you go up the layers of the atmosphere
100
amount of mass in a given volume is this (how spread out particles are)
density
200
the gas that makes up about 21% of the atmosphere
oxygen
200
where the ozone layer is found
stratosphere
200
A scientist who studies the weather
meteorologist
200
when you compress gases you release this
Pressure
200
the most common instrument for measuring how hot or cold the air is
thermometer
300
excess of this gas contributes to global warming
carbon dioxide
300
the "hot layer" of the atmosphere
thermosphere
300
This instrument is used to measure air pressure
barometer
300
this happens to air pressure as altitude increases
decreases
300
A weather instrument that tells you from which direction the wind is coming from
weather vane
400
gas in the atmosphere that makes up the ozone
oxygen
400
the layer of electrically charged particles
ionosphere
400
An instrument that measures wind speed
Anemometer
400
as the density of air increases, the air pressure does this
decreases
400
this is made up of 3 atoms of oxygen
ozone
500
99% of all of this occurs in the troposphere
weather
500
the thickest layer of the atmosphere or most dense
thermosphere
500
An instrument that measures the relative humidity in the air.
psychrometer
500
The name for the air that surrounds the earth
atmosphere
500
gaseous form of H2O
water vapor
