The Atmosphere: Air, Layers, Greenhouse

Altitude is defined as

• amount of force over a given area

• amount of matter in given volume

• a push or a pull

• vertical height above Earth’s surface

As altitude increases, density

• increases

• decreases

• stays the same

• it depends on the layer

This demonstration illustrated what property of air?

• air is less dense than water

• air experts pressure in all directions

• air take up space (has volume)

• air has mass

This demonstration illustrated what property of air? We pushed a paper towel into the bottom of a cup. When we brought our cup out of water, the clay was still dry!

• air is less dense than water

• air experts pressure in all directions

• air take up space (has volume)

• air has mass
