Explain how Earth is UNEQUALLY heated.

• Because land and water heat unevenly.

• The poles and the equator are different distances from the sun.

• The sun's energy strikes different parts of the earth at different angles.

• The sun's energy is different during throughout the year.

Which layer is being described?

Characteristics:

-80 degrees Celsius coldest temperatures

Weather or life exists here

most dense layer

• Thermosphere

• Troposphere

• Stratosphere

• Mesosphere

Why does the stratosphere get warmer with increasing altitude?

• Because weather happens here

• Because the auroras happen here

• Because of the Ozone Layer

• Because of the meteors burn up in this layer

What is the reason that winds curve or bend as wind moves from the equator to the poles or the poles to the equator?

• The Coriolis Effect

• Sea Breezes

• The Earth's revolution

• The Butterfly Effect
