100
Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Exosphere
What are the layers of the atmosphere?
100
This process changes water from lakes and rivers into water vapor.
What is evaporation?
100
This sphere contains all living things.
What is the Biosphere? (Bonus: Give an example.)
100
The condition of the troposphere at any given place an time.
What is Weather?
100
Hot air rises.
What is Convection?
200
This layer is almost part of outer space.
What is the exosphere?
200
This part of the water cycle causes the formation of clouds.
What is condensation?
200
This sphere contains all the air we breathe.
What is the atmosphere/troposphere?
200
A large region of the troposphere in which the air has simlar properties.
What is an Air Mass?
200
This happens as air masses collide.
What is a front?
300
This layer is where all weather occurs.
What is the troposphere?
300
This is what happens to a water molecule once it completes all parts of the water cycle.
What is recycling/repeating?
300
This sphere is connected to the Water Cycle.
What is the Hydrosphere? (Bonus: give an example.)
300
Weather pattern that typically occurs at a front.
What is Precipitation?
300
Thermal energy that is transferred through direct touch.
What is Conduction?
400
This layer protects us from the Sun's powerful UV rays
What is the Ozone Layer?
400
Water that can not infiltrate the ground to help the soil and plants.
What is run-off?
400
This is one way that the spheres interact with each other.
(Accept all correct answers.)
400
Visual representation of a weather forecast.
What is a weather map?
400
Thermal Energy that is transferred via air molecules.
What is radiation?
500
This changes in each layer of the atmosphere.
What is temperature? (Bonus... How does temperature change in each layer?
500
When a plant releases water to the atmosphere as it "breathes."
What is transpiration?
500
This is the reason Earth is the only planet that can sustain life.
What are the interactions of the 4 spheres?
500
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, you must be a____________"
What is a meteorologist?
500
This can cause someone with a bone injury to accurately "predict" the weather.
What is air pressure?
