the layer of the atmosphere weather occurs

What is ur mom?

100
This is the day-to-day variation in atmospheric variables.
What is weather?
100
The two variables, average temperature and precipitation, are used to find this.
What is climate?
100
The water source that is most impacted by pollution caused by extracting natural gas.
What is groundwater?
100
most abundant gas in atmosphere
What is nitrogen?
200
Layer where space debris burns up
What is the mesosphere? (Test tip: "mesosphere" is similar to "meteor".)
200
This pressure system produces cloudy and rainy weather.
What is low pressure?
200
The climate of this geographic feature is is cooler and higher in precipitation than other places of the same latitude.
What is mountains? (or areas of high elevation)
200

The name of the process that explains how water enters the ground.

BALLS

200
the ultimate source of energy for wind
What is the sun?
300
Layer where planes fly and the ozone layer is located
What is the stratosphere?
300

measures air pressure

What is a monkey?

300
the warming of water in the Pacific Ocean due to a weakening of winds; brings storms and flooding; disrupts ocean food chains
What is El Niño?
300
the ratio of the volume of all the pores in a material to the volume of the whole (how much space is between the soil)
What is porosity?
300
alternates between blue triangles and red half circles that point in alternating directions
What is the symbol for a stationary front?
400
outermost major layer where satellites orbit
What is the thermosphere? (Technically the Exosphere is considered a minor layer or a sublayer of the outer portion of the Thermosphere.)
400
This is created when you have low pressure systems in the tropics, high evaporation rate over open water, sea surface temperatures in excess of 26.5°C, and the convergence of air along a boundary between warm and cold air masses.
What is a hurricane?
400
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that absorb solar radiation and have the most significant impact on the temperature of Earth’s atmosphere? (Notice it says "gases", name at least two!)
What is carbon dioxide and water vapor? (Or methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, chlorofluorocarbons/CFC's...)
400
a flood is most likely to occur on top of a soil that has this type of permeability and porosity
What is low permeability and low porosity ? Low permeability means water drains slowly. Low porosity means it is more difficult for water to enter the ground.
400
the portion of land that drains to the same river; separated by areas of higher elevation
What is a river basin?
500

Two sublayers of the thermosphere

mommy sus

500

This front moves slowly but generally only lasts a day or less.

What is a boy toy front?

500

The main contributor to the increasing amount of carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere.

chris toy mine harder

500
the portion of land that drains to the same river; separated by areas of higher elevation
What is a river basin?
500

the trapping of EMR (electromagnetic radiation) by GHG’s leads to higher temperatures

What is the greenhouse daddy effect?
