Which list is in the correct order of atmospheric layers starting from Earth's surface?

• Termosphere, stratosphere, troposphere, mesophere, exosphere
• Exosphere, troposphere, mesophere, stratosphere, thermosphere
• Mesosphere, stratosphere, thermosphere, exosphere, troposphere
• Thermosphere, troposphere, stratosphere, exosphere, mesosphere
• Troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere

Which of the following contributes to the unequal warming of Earth? I. Variation in the angle of sunlight that reaches Earth II. Variation in the amount of surface area over which the Sun's rays are distributed III. Variation in the amount of sunlight reflected from clouds

• I only
• I and II only
• II and III only
• III only
• I, II, and III

Whcih of the following has the highest albedo?

• Soil
• Snow
• Water
• Tropical rainforest
• Pavement

Summer in the Northern Hemisphere is water primarily because of I. increased atmosphere absorption of solar radioation II. the tilt of Earth's axis III. reduced albedo

• I only
• I and II only
• II only
• I and III only
• II and III only

Which atmospheric layer contrains the protective ozone layer?

• Exosphere
• Mesosphere
• Stratosphere
• Thermosphere
• Troposphere

Termperature change in adiabatic heating occurs due to

• water vapor condensing
• a pressure inrease
• absorption of sunlight
• a pressure decrease
• a volume increase

Latent heat release

• increases air temperature
• decreases air temperature
• increases the amount of water vapor
• increases air pressure
• decreases air pressure

Which of the following does NOT contribute to atmospheric convection currents?

• Hadley cells
• Westerlies
• Gyres
• Polar cells
• The intertropical convergence zone

The maximum amount of water vapor air can hold at a give temperature is called the

• saturation point
• letent heat capacity
• absolute humidity
• dew point
• vapor pressure

The Coriolis effect is responsible for

• the convergence of two ascending Hadley cells
• the location of atmospheric currents caused by the unequal heating of Earth
• the cooling effect of air as it rises and expands
• the deflection of atmospheric currents
• the counterclockwise air circulation in the Northern Hemisphere due to Earth's tilt
