What does the atmosphere do for us ?

1. Protects us from suns harmful radiation 

2. Regulates surface temperature

what is the greenhouse effect? And why is it important? 

The green house effect is controlled by water vapor and keeps the earth's surface 60 degrees warmer than the

200

measures humidity

measures temps  

measures air pressure 

measures wind direction and speed 

hygrometer 

thermometer 

barometer 

anemometer 

300

wind blows warm moist air on top of the cooler drier air masses 

moist air cools by the ground 

air moves along the ground and up the side of a mountain and cools 

warm air rises cools and water vapor condenses 

mountain clouds

fog 

convection clouds 

frontal clouds 

Frontal clouds

fog

mountain clouds

convection clouds

the eight steps of the water cycle are..

water heats up 

rises evaporates 

wind currents carry them

cool down, return to water form

sticks to dust

more molecules form in cloud

water droplets form 

become heavy 

fall back to earth

how is weight different from mass 

well weight is changing depending on the gravitational pull of the planet whereas mass is constant no madder the location.
