Atmosphere
The innermost layer of the atmosphere
What is the troposphere
This type of wind blows from land to sea at night
What is a land breeze?
The type of gases that carbon dioxide and water vapor are considered.
What are greenhouse gases?
This type of heat transfer happens through direct contact.
What is conduction?
What is the eye?
The "middle" layer of the atmosphere where meteors burn up
This breeze happens when warm air rises over the water and sinks over the land.
What is a land breeze?
The global temperature increasing over time due to the rise of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
This type of heat transfer happens through rising and sinking of fluids.
What is convection?
Thunderstorms and possibly tornadoes can be formed at this time of weather front.
What is a cold front?
The informal outermost layer of the atmosphere that goes into outer space
What is the exosphere?
This bands of winds happens directly above and below the equator.
What are the trade winds?
Certain gases absorbing heat and being trapped in the atmosphere is known as this.
What is the greenhouse effect?
This type of heat transfer happens through heat energy traveling through electromagnetic waves.
What is radiation?
These severe weather events happen over land and are produced from supercell thunderstorms.
What are tornadoes?
The layer of the atmosphere where temperature increases greatly and satellites are.
What is the thermosphere?
Warm and moist weather is most often found near this area that circles the Earth
What is the equator?
Convection in the atmosphere causes this movement of air in the atmosphere.
What is wind?
These storms are formed over 80F water, so typically between June and November.
What are hurricanes?
The layer of the atmosphere that houses the ozone layer
What is the stratosphere?
When high pressure air is found over the water, this type of breeze occurs.
What are sea breezes?
This term describes weather conditions over a long period of time.
What is climate?
This object causes convection in the atmosphere and the heating of Earth's surface.
What is the sun?
These types of storms form when warm, moist air rises rapidly and cool high pressure air sinks, bringing heavy rains and lightning.
What are thunderstorms?
