earths atmosphere

what is sea breeze

• the flow of cooler air from over an ocean or lake toward land

• prevaling wind that blow from east to west between 60degrees-90degrees latitude i bot hemisphere

• wind that blow over short distances

• prevaling winds that blow from west to east between 30degrees and 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres

what are local winds

• layer of the stratosphere with a high concentration of ozone; absorbs most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet

• prevaling winds that blow from west to east between 30 degrees ad 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres

• winds that blow over short distances

• the transfer of heat by the movement of fluid

what is the thermosphere

• circular patterns caused by the rising and sinking of air; hot air rises; cool air sinks

• the uppermost layer of the atmosphere, in which temperature increases as altitude increases; air pressure is the least of all the layers;

• the transfer of heat by movment of fluid

• winds that blow steadily from specific

what is kinetic energy

• energy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves

• warming the results when the solar radiations is trapped by the atmosphere

• is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles.the faster a particle moves, teh more kinetic enrgy it has, the higher the temperature of the object

• energy of motion when particles are in motion

what is coriolis effect

• the transfer of heat by the moving of fluid

• the apparent curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to the earths rotation

• narrow bands of highspeed winds that circle the earths, blowing from west to east

• layer of the stratisphere with a high; absorbs most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays

what is radiation

• warming that results when solar radiation is trapped by the atmosphere

• energy of motion; when particles are in motion

• elvation above sea level

• energy that is transmitted in the form of rays or waves

what are trade winds

• prevaling winds that blow from east to west from 30 degrees latitude to the equater in both hemisphere

• waring that results when solar radiation is trapped by teh atmosphere

• winds that blow over short distances

• winds that blow steadily form specific directions over long distances

what is the stratosphere

• warming that results when solar radiation is trapped by the atmosphere

• energy that is radiated or transmitted n the form of rays or waves

• the second-lowest layer of earth's atmosphere; ozone layers is here ; air pressure decreases; temperature increases

• the lowest layer of the earths atmosphere; temperature decreases; air pressure decreases

doldrums

• the energy transferred between objects that are at different objects that are at different temperatures

• a frequently windless area near the equater

• the flow of cooler air from over an ocean or lake toward land

• circular patterns caused by the rising and sinking of air; hot (less dense) air rises; cool (more dense) air sinks

what is air pressure

• the measure of the force with which air molecules push on a surface

• the energy transferred between objects that are at different temperatures

• a frequently windless area near the equater

• an increase in the volume of a substance when the temprature is increased
