Atmospheric Layers
The atmospheric layer that we live in currently
Troposphere
Define conduction...
Heat Transfer through direct contact
True or false: Waves are created through convection?
True
Ozone pros / advantages
Protects from UV rays and regulates temperature
What conducts heat best: conductors or insulators?
Layer where we have satellites
Exosphere
Define convection...
Heat transfer through the movement of particles throughout a substance / state of matter
Example of conduction in real life
Melting chocolate, cooking eggs, hot cup of coffee, etc.
Ozone cons / disadvantages
Natural and human causes of abundance of carbon creates pollution
Example of a conductor
Metal
Layer where meteors are seen
Mesosphere
Define radiation
Heat transfer through waves
Example of convection in real life at the beach?
Waves, wind, etc.
What happens to our ozone layer when an abundance or carbon and other gases enter our atmosphere?
Layer becomes thinner and less oxygen in the air
Wood
Warmest atmospheric layer
Thermosphere
Melting a piece of chocolate on an electric stovetop is an example of what type of heat transfer?
Example of radiation in real life?
Campfire, microwave, x ray, sun, etc.
Which human and natural causes contribute to pollution in the ozone layer in the troposphere?
Methane from cows, utilization of aerosol cans, utilization of fertilizer, pesticides, act of deforestation
What is the importance of insulators with your home?
Layer where we have the type of ozone that protects us from the sun's strong UV rays
Stratosphere
Ex: Boiling pot of water
Temperature definition
Amount of kinetic energy through a substance
Purpose of conductors?
Moving heat from one place to another, keeping heat away
