Intro to Geog
Category of geography that focuses on the processes, systems and naturally occurring landforms in the natural environment
What is Physical Geography
This is the measurement reading of energy.
What is temperature
This is the layer of the atmosphere where weather is mostly formed.
What is the Troposphere
AQI stands for this.
What is Air Quality Index
Millibars can also be referred to as this.
Hectopascal (hPa)
This is the most accurate shape of the Earth.
What is an ellipsoid
In meteorology, air pressure readings are taken at this level
What is Mean Sea Level
The Earth's current atmosphere is currently made up of these two main gases.
What is nitrogen and oxygen
The hole in the ozone is found in this hemisphere.
What is the southern hemisphere
This is a high pressure zone around 30 degrees latitude.
What is a Horse Latitude
This is at roughly a 23 degree tilt.
What is the Earth's Axis
These pressure systems bring clear and dry weather
What are high pressure systems
This is the layer of the atmosphere that burns up space debris.
What is the mesosphere
PM2.5 and PM10 are measured by this unit.
What is a micrometer
This phrase represents when all moleculer movement ceases.
What is absolute zero
This is any product of condesnsation.
What is Precipitation
A parcel of air needs to reach this point for cloud formation.
What is saturation point
This device measures atmospheric pressure and related atmospheric properties, carried by a weather balloon
What is a radiosonde
At surface level, O3, forms this.
What is a photochemical smog
In the lower atmosphere, water vapor changes phase by absorbing or releasing this.
What is latent heat
These days have equal amounts of sunlight to night time
What are equinoxes
This is the volume measurement of water vapor present in the air at a given time
What is absolute humidity
This gas is responsible for current Earth's atmosphere.
What is water vapor
Nitrogen Dioxide is this type of pollutant.
As the Earth rotates on its axis it wobbles, also known as this.
What is Precession
