What is ozone?

• one of the green house gases

• the movement of matter between different temperatures

• the average motion of particles in a substance

• a molecule that absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the sun

Where is the ozone layer located?

• thermosphere

• stratosphere

• troposphere

• mesosphere

What causes the wind?

• the spinning of the Earth on its axis

• the gravity between the Earth and air molecules

• The sun heats the atmosphere unevenly, causing temperature differences, which causes air pressure differences

• the flapping of bird wings

How does a sea breeze work?

• It can only happen during the day, when the cool air from the ocean rushes towards the warmer land

• It can only happen during the night, when the cool air from the ocean rushes towards the warmer land

• It can only happen during the summer, when more people are outside to notice it

• It can only happen during the night, when less activity from animals allows wind to be more powerful

What is the greenhouse effect?

• the process of air of different temperatures moving from place to place

• When gases such as water vapor and carbon dioxide hold energy in the atmosphere and keep the Earth warm

• a way to filter out harmful rays from the sun

• When gases such as ozone and oxygen trap moisture in the atmosphere

What brings winter to the United States?

• the trade winds

• the effect of gravity on the Sun's radiation

• the Earth spinning on its axis

• The polar easterly jet stream
