What is the correct sequence of layers of the atmosphere from innermost to outermost ?

troposphere-stratosphere-mesosphere-thermosphere

mesosphere-stratosphere-thermosphere-troposphere

stratosphere-thermosphere-troposphere-mesosphere

Why is ozone important to life on Earth?

Ozone in the atmosphere absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation from space.

Because it determines that objects are densest at sea level.

Because it is a type of heat transfer.

Which of the following answer choices is correct when defining the Mesosphere?

The third layer of the atmosphere that most meteors burn up in.

The lower layer of the thermosphere.

The second layer of the atmosphere above the Earth that contains the ozone layer.

Which of the following is correct when convection occurs in the atmosphere?

Cool air sinks and warm air rises.

Cool air rises and warm air sinks

Mrs. Roberts is boiling water to make pasta. She leaves her metal stirring spoon in the boiling water for a few minutes. What will most likely happen to the temperature of the metal spoon?

The temperature of the metal spoon will increase because heat energy from the boiling water will transfer to the spoon.

The temperature of the metal spoon will increase because cold energy from the spoon will transfer to the water.

The temperature of the metal spoon will decrease because heat energy from the spoon will transfer to the water.

What would most likely happen if Earth did not have an atmosphere?

humans and animals would not survive without oxygen. Plants would die without carbon dioxide from humans and animals

humans and animals would survive

In which two layers of the atmosphere does temperature increase as altitude increases?

the stratosphere and thermosphere

How the gases of the atmosphere affect the temperature of Earth?

The gases absorb some of the heat from the Sun, holding it to keep it warm near Earth's surface.

The gases do not absorb any heat from the Sun, making Earth's surface cold

This model shows that....

the convection of ocean currents driven by energy from the Sun.

the radiation of ocean currents driven by energy from Earth's core.

the transpiration of water vapor driven by underwater plants.

How are a greenhouse and Earth's atmosphere most alike?

Both trap heat inside and prevent it from escaping.

A. Both contain large amounts of carbon dioxide.

Both lower the temperature to be suitable for life.

Which statement correctly describes some of the data in the graph?

As altitude increases, temperature increases in the stratosphere and decreases in the mesosphere.

As altitude increases, temperature decreases in the stratosphere and increases in the mesosphere.

As altitude increases, temperature decreases in the stratosphere and mesosphere.

What is the most likely reason why sand at the beach heats up faster than the ocean water?

sand absorbs heat faster than water

water absorbs heat faster than sand

The sand reflects the heat more than the water.

Based on data in the graph, which statement describes the air molecules in the upper atmospheric layers?

There are fewer air molecules in upper layers.

There are larger air molecules in upper layers.

Air molecules in the upper layer are packed together.

What is the Earth's atmosphere made of?

nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide

sodium chloride, oxygen, calcium
