What is Barometer
300
Nitrogen,oxygen,carbon dioxide,water vapor and many other gases, as well as particles of liquids and solids.
What is Make up Earth's atmosphere
300
Light interacts with nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and other pollutants.
What is Photochemical smog
300
Two atmospheres that protect/make living easier on earth.
What is troposphere-weather makes it livable Stratosphere- protects us with ozone and absorbs radiation Mesosphere- keeps meteoroids from crashing into earth. Thermosphere -bounces back radio waves and gives us heat.
400
Satellites orbit in this layer.
What is Exosphere
400
Is the layer of gases that surrounds the planet.
What is Atmosphere
400

What is Thermosphere
500
3 characteristics air has.
What is Air has mass,it also has other properties including density and pressure.
500
Why does a climber need a oxygen mask?
What is Alitilude increase, air pressure and density decrease causing us to have trouble with respiration.
500
Farming (tilling the land), and construction/destruction of buildings.
What is Human Pollution
