Temperature
100
The percentage of nitrogen in the atmosphere
What is 78%?
100
the third layer of the atmosphere
What is the mesosphere?
100
uneven heating by this causes wind, waves, and hurricanes.
What is the sun?
100
the transfer of heat by moving fluids
What is convection?
100
heats up quick and cools of quick
What is land?
200
this has to do with the conditions of the atmosphere at a certain place at a certain time.
What is weather?
200
where weather takes place
What is the troposphere?
200
this causes seasons
What is revolution?
200
the amount of light reflected from an object
What is albedo?
200
the amount of water somewhere affects this
What is temperature?
300
this keeps heat inside the earth
What are greenhouse gases?
300
layer of the atmosphere the temperature increases as you go higher
What is the thermosphere?
300
the sun is directly over the equator during this
What is an equinox?
300
percentage of sun's energy absorbed by the ozone layer
What is 30%?
300
the further you are from here the air is colder
What is the equator?
400
This is why the pressure is lower as you go up in altitude
What are less molecules?
400
layer of the atmosphere containing the ozone layer
What is the stratosphere?
400
this is the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere
What is the vernal equinox?
400
does not need matter to heat anything
What is radiation?
400
it is warmest between these 2 places
What is the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn?
500
this blocks UV light
What is ozone?
500
layer of the atmosphere that the temperature decreases to 140 degrees below zero
What is the mesosphere?
500
The sun is directly pointing at this during the northern hemisphere's summer solstice
What is the Tropic of Cancer?
500
allows more of the sun's energy to be absorbed
What is low albedo?
500
this can absorb the most heat and energy
What is water?
