This layers of the atmosphere is known for being the coldest layer, meteors burn up here

• Troposphere
• Stratosphere
• Mesosphere
• Thermosphere

Winds are caused by difference in

• Precipitation
• Humidity
• Air Pressure
• Turbulence

This atmospheric layer protects us from the harmful UV radiation from the sun

• Mesophere
• Thermosphere
• Exosphere
• Stratosphere

The seasons are caused by

• Eath's varying distance from the sun
• Earth's changing rate of rotation
• The tilt of Earth's axis as Earth revolves around the sun
• Shifting climates on Earth's surface

The hottest layer in the atmosphere

• Troposphere
• Thermosphere
• Mesosphere
• Exosphere

Most of Earth's atmosphere is composed of

• Oxygen and Hydrogen
• Nitrogen and Oxygen
• Carbon and Ozone
• Hydrogen and Nitrogen

Water Vapor in the atmosphere is the source of

• Carbon dioxide
• Pollution
• Wind
• Clouds and Rain

The amount of energy the atmosphere absorbs depends in part on its level of

• Argon
• Nitrogen Dioxide
• Nitrogen
• Carbon Dioxide

The process of water changing from liquid to gas is

• Evaporation
• Coalescence
• Condensation
• Precipitation

As water vapor rises in the atmosphere, it cools and changes into liquid cloud droplets in a process called

• Condensation
• Evaporation
• Precipitation
• Vaporization
