100
Energy source that drives the water cycle
What is the sun?
100
The layer closest to Earth.
What is the troposphere?
100
How much of the atmosphere is Nitrogen.
What is 78%
100
What weather results from a high pressure system.
What is fair and sunny?
100
The area of the planet Earth that gets the most direct rays from the sun.
What is the equator?
200
When the sun causes liquid water to turn into water vapor and rise up
What is evaporation?
200
The layer where ozone is found.
What is the stratosphere?
200
How much of the atmosphere is oxygen.
What is 21%?
200
What weather results from a low pressure system.
What is cloudy and rainy?
200
What causes wind.
What is air moving from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure?
300
When water vapor reaches the colder, higher areas of the troposphere and turns back into liquid water in clouds
What is condensation?
300
The hottest layer in the atmosphere.
What is the thermosphere?
300
A greenhouse gas in the atmosphere that contributes to global warming.
What is carbon dioxide?
300
A large body of air with the same properties as the land over which it was formed.
What is an air mass?
300
When warm air rises at the equator and is displaced by cold air coming from the poles, causing a circular movement.
What is a convection current?
400
When water droplets get so heavy that they fall to earth as rain, snow, sleet or hail.
What is precipitation?
400
The layer closest to outer space.
What is the exosphere?
400
What air pressure is closer to Earth (greater or less).
What is greater?
400
The boundary between two air masses.
What is a front?
400
This idea explains how the Earth's rotation affects the direction of winds (right in the northern hemisphere, left in the southern hemisphere).
What is the Coriolis Effect?
500
When trees give off water vapor through the stomata in their leaves.
What is transpiration?
500
The layer where shooting stars occur.
What is the mesosphere?
500
What the ozone protects us from.
What is harmful ultraviolet radiation?
500
The pattern of weather that occurs in an area over a period of years.
What is climate?
500
This is the most frequent direction of winds where we live in Michigan.
What is from west to east?
