Name each layer of the atmosphere beginning with the one closest to Earth.

• Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere

• Stratosphere, Troposphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere

• Mesosphere, Troposphere, Stratosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere

• Exosphere, Thermosphere, Mesosphere, Stratosphere, Troposphere

The thickest layer of the atmosphere is:

• Troposphere

• Stratosphere

• Mesosphere

• Thermosphere

The coldest layer of the atmosphere is:

• Troposphere

• Stratosphere

• Mesosphere

• Thermosphere

What is the hottest layer of the atmosphere?

• Troposphere

• Stratosphere

• Mesosphere

• Thermosphere

The layer of the atmosphere that contains the ozone layer is:

• Troposphere

• Stratosphere

• Mesosphere

• Thermosphere

The ionosphere is contained within which layer of the atmosphere?

• Troposphere

• Stratosphere

• Mesosphere

• Thermosphere

The ozone layer is important because it:

• Protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation

• Increases the Earth's temperature

• Absorbs carbon dioxide

• Produces oxygen

What is the relationship between air pressure and altitude?

• As air pressure increases, altitude increases.

• As air pressure decreases, altitude decreases.

• As altitude increases, air pressure decreases.

• Air pressure fluctuates randomly with altitude.

Global warming is ________________________.

• A natural cooling process

• A short-term weather change

• The long-term rise in Earth's average temperature

• A decrease in greenhouse gases
