Oceans and Atmosphere

In which atmospheric layer do you find the Ozone?

• Troposphere

• Mesosphere

• Thermosphere

• Stratosphere

Why do planes fly in the stratosphere?

• All weather events occur in the troposphere

• The clouds are thinner there

• The Stratosphere is nice and warm

• They don't. They fly in the mesosphere

What causes acid rain

• excessive nutrients in water

• Excessive CO₂ and particulates in atmosphere combining with water vapor.

• Ocean currents

• Cloudy days

What is Specific Heat?

• How hot something is, specifically.

• Energy of Water

• The amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of something by 1 degree Celsius.

• Energy of land

The temperature of ocean water:

• Rarely changes year round

• Changes rapidly due to it being sunny at the beach

• is always cold

• Is mostly warm

In coastal areas, at night, the breeze moves:

• From the ocean to land (Sea Breeze)

• From the clouds to water due to precipitation

• From the land towards the ocean (Land Breeze)

• From the surface to the stratosphere
