Atmosphere & Wind Test REVIEW

What are the 5 layers of the atmosphere from highest altitude to lowest altitude?

• exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

• troposphere, thermosphere, exosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere

• troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere

• exosphere, troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

As altitude increases, what happens to pressure in the atmosphere?

• decreases

• increases

• stays the same

• there is not pressure in the atmosphere

Match the characteristic to the layer of the atmosphere

• exosphere

• coldest & protects earth from meteors

• troposphere

• contains the ozone layer

• mesosphere

• highest altitude & lowest pressure

• stratosphere

• northern lights

• thermosphere

• lowest altitude & highest pressure

Organize these options into the right categories

Groups:

(a) Troposphere

,

(b) Stratosphere

• best conditions to fly an airplane in

• clear & calm weather

• where we live

• most weather happens here
