Chapter 7 Lessons 1-4

The atmosphere is

• the closest layer of the atmosphere to Earth.

• the layer of gases that surrounds the Earth.

• the average weather pattern of a region

• all of the water on Earth

The troposphere is

• the closest layer of the atmosphere to Earth

• the layer of gases that surrounds the Earth.

• the average weather pattern of a region.

• the layer of the atmosphere that is farthest away from Earth

The amount of the sun's energy that reaches Earth at any given time and place is called

• humidity

• air pressure

• angle of the moon

• insolation

The angle at which sunlight hits Earth's surface is called

• the moon

• the angle of insolation

• air pressure

• temperature

Air pressure is

• the layer of gases surrounding the Earth.

• the angle of insolation

• the force exerted on a given area by the impacts of the particles in constant motion.

• The slow changing of a liquid into a gas when particles vaporize at the water’s surface

The shift in winds to the right or left caused by Earth's rotation is called

• Coriolis Effect

• air pressure

• global winds

• angle of insolation

Global winds are

• the winds that exert pressure on any given area at any given time.

• the winds that move from high pressure to low pressure and cause air to be in constant motion around the Earth.

Where is the weather?

• in the mantle

• in the crust

• in the troposphere

• in the thermosphere

What affects air temperature?

• tilt of the earth

• angle of insolation

• time of day

• time of year

What causes the global winds to move to the left or right?

• air pressure

• rotation of the Earth

• Coriolis effect
