Atmosphere 1
The furthest layer from Earth
Exosphere
The force exerted on you by the weight of molecules in the air
Air pressure
The layer that contains the Aurora Borealis
Thermosphere
Evaporation is most affected by this
The Sun's energy
Where most of Earth's weather occurs
Troposphere
Gas in Earth's atmosphere that absorbs most of the damaging high-energy UV radiation
Ozone
Located above the mesosphere
Thermosphere
The process of changing a gas to a liquid
Condensation
The layer that contains the ozone layer
Stratosphere
The biggest similarity between a greenhouse and Earth's atmosphere
Both trap heat inside and prevent it from escaping
Weather in this layer can cause the air to feel bumpy and the plane will experience turbulence
Troposphere
The process of turning from liquid into vapor
Evaporation
In these two layers of the atmosphere, temperature increases as altitude decreases
Stratosphere and thermosphere
The reason why Earth's surface is rarely impacted by large objects that enter Earth's atmosphere
Earth has such a dense atmosphere, friction causes most objects to burn up before they reach Earth's surface
The way the composition of the mesosphere protects life on Earth
Burns up most of the debris that enters Earth's atmosphere from space
The process of water falling from clouds to the Earth's surface
Precipitation
The atmosphere is divided into spherical layers because of this
Temperature changes from variations in absorption of solar energy
Temperature increases with altitude in the stratosphere because of this
Ozone absorbs energy from the sun
This would happen if the stratosphere did not contain the ozone layer
The troposphere would have lower temperatures since there would be no ozone layer to trap heat near the Earth's surface
The three stages of the water cycle that are necessary for it to rain
Condensation, evaporation, precipitation
