Currents & Climate
The Air Around You
Air Pressure
The Atmosphere
Potpourri
100
This causes surface currents
What are winds?
100
This is the thin envelope of gases that surrounds a planet
What is the atmosphere
100
This is the definition of density
What is the amount of matter (particles) in a given volume (space) of air
100
This is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere
What is Nitrogen
100
This is the formula for Density
What is Density=mass/volume
200
This current affects (warms/cools) the air above it
What are surface currents
200
What gases make up Earth's atmosphere?
What is Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapor and other trace gases such as Argon
200
This is the force that pushes on an area or surface
What is air pressure
200
This gas at around 1% is also known as a Greenhouse Gas
What is Carbon Dioxide
200
This  causes currents to curve.
What is the Coriolis effect?
300
This current affects climate
What are surface currents
300
This instrument is used to measure air temperature
What is a thermometer
300
This is the distance above sea level
What is altitude
300
This gas is only present in wet air
What is water vapor
300
This is the direction currents curve in the southern hemisphere
What is counterclockwise
400
This causes deep ocean currents
What is changes in water's density?
400
This is the term used to describe water as an invisible gas
What is water vapor
400
This is why air pressure doesn't crush you.
What is molecules push in all directions
400
This term is used to describe the condition of Earth's atmosphere at a particular place and time
What is weather
400
The properties of air include __________ and ____________ and are affected by ______________.
What is density, pressure, and altitude
500
This is why deep ocean currents are important
What is deep ocean currents mix water around the world- spreads oxygen that marine life requires
500
The factor that decided about how the atmosphere is divided into layers?
What is the temperature change?
500
This is the relationship between altitude, density and air pressure.
What is as altitude increases, the density of air and the pressure decreases. As altitude decreases, the air becomes more dense and the pressure increases.
500
This is the composition of the atmosphere

 Nitrogen  78 %

Oxygen 21 %

 other gases and particles-  1%

(Carbon Dioxide, water vapor, and other trace gases along with particles such as dust, smoke, salt, and chemicals)

This is how the tea bag flew in our demonstration

 
What  air is heated, it becomes warm and less dense, thus, when the tea bag burned down, the ash was taken up with warm, less dense air?
