ATMOSPHERE
Where are the satellites, telescopes and the International Space Station orbiting?
In the Thermosphere
True or False: Warm air has higher pressure and density than cold air
False
This climate is hot and humid all year with large amounts of rain
Tropical
What is the coldest ecosystem on Earth?
Tundra
Why do extra greenhouse gases produce climate change?
Because these gases absorb more solar energy. As a consequence, the temperature of the planet is rising
What is the name of the layer which absorbs a large proportion of solar energy?
Ozone Layer
What is the name of the loop of warm and cold air?
Hadley cells
This climate is very cold in winter, but warm in summer
Continental
The 2 types of grassland
Savannah and Prairie
Why can the increasement of the temperature of oceans be dangerous?
Because there are living things adapted to a specific temperature
What is the weather?
The state of the atmosphere at any moment
Why does water evaporate?
Because the Sun heats water and it is transformed into water vapour
Tell the 5 types of climate from the coldest to the hottest
Polar - Continental - Temperate - Tropical - Dry
Tell an example of each artificial ecosystem
Aquatic -- Aquariums
Terrestrial -- Park
Urban -- Seville
Trees and green areas clean the atmosphere. Why?
Because they absorb carbon dioxide and expels oxygen
What is the atmosphere?
It is a mixture of gases that surrounds the Earth and makes life possible
Explain the process of condensation
The water vapour cools and condenses forming clouds.
What is climate?
It is the pattern of weather of a specific area over a long period of time
Tell the 4 types of saltwater ecosystems
Shoreline, coral reefs, kelp forest and open ocean
Tell 3 things we can do better to save our planet

Tell the layers of the atmosphere from the furthest to the closest
Exosphere - Thermosphere - Mesosphere - Statosphere - Troposphere
Tell the steps of the Water Cycle in order
Evaporation - Condensation - Precipitation - Collection
4 Factors that affect climate

What are the 3 types of forests?
Coniferous
Temperate deciduous
