This layer is next to the Earth and contains 75% of the gases in the atmosphere.
What is the troposphere?
100
This is a big mass of air that has the same characteristics like temperature, pressure, or humidity.
What is an air mass?
100
This part of the airplane makes it different from a car.
What are wings?
100
These lines connect areas of similar characteristics like temperature, pressure, elevation, etc.
What is isolines?
200
This is a process by which liquid turns to gas.
What is evaporation?
200
This layer is found in the stratosphere and absorbs harmful ultraviolet rays to keep the earth at a livable temperature.
What is the ozone layer?
200
This a big group of air that has the same characteristics like temperature, pressure, or humidity.
What is an air mass?
200
This force causes the pressure at the bottom of the wings to increase so it can push the plane upward.
What is lift?
200
Areas of high pressure has this letter.
What is "H"?
300
This process changes gases to liquds.
What is condensation?
300
This is the coldest layer of the atmosphere and where meteoroids disintegrate or burn up.
What is the mesosphere?
300
This front moves very slowly and causes the warm air to go up and produce all the types of clouds and precipitation that lasts for a few days.
What is a warm front?
300
This principle states that the faster fluids move the lower its pressure or the slower fluids move the higher its pressure.
What is Bernoulli's Principle?
300
Areas of high pressure will have this type of weather.
What is sunny, clear, or fair weather?
400
This is water that flows on the surface of the ground.
What is runoff?
400
This is hottest layer of the atmosphere.
What is the thermosphere?
400
This air mass comes is warm and comes from the sea so it carries a lot of moisture.
What is maritime tropical air mass?
400
This control surface of the airplane causes it to roll.
What are aelerons?
400
This weather happens when air is rising.
What is cloudy weather?
500
This is water absorbed by the soil and are stored or travels underground.
What is ground water?
500
This is not a layer of the atmosphere but is found in one of the layers. It deflects solar flares so they don't hit the Earth and burn it.
What is the magnetic field?
500
This front causes the warm air to rise quickly to form tall clouds called cumulunimbus and causes rainy stormy (sometimes with thunderstorms) weather that happens very quickly.
What is a cold front?
500
This is the angle at which the airplane is tilted to get the most lift.
What is angle of attack?
500
This air mass produces a cold and dry condition in the atmosphere.
