After playing outside on a cold day, Jaime went inside to wash his hands. Although the water was normal temperature, he noticed that it felt warmer than usual. What would explain this phenomenon?

• His body had more kinetic energy than the water.

• Heat flowed from a cooler substance to a warmer substance.

• The water from the faucet had a higher temperature than his skin.

• The thermal energy in the room was higher than the thermal energy outside.

Auroras occur where Earth’s magnetosphere traps high-energy particles in which region of the atmosphere?

• troposphere

• stratosphere

• thermosphere

• exosphere

The BEST description of the stratosphere is the layer of the atmosphere with the

• most ozone

• greatest density

• highest altitude

• coldest temperature

Some satellites and the space station fly in a layer of the atmosphere where temperature generally increases with altitude. What is this layer of the atmosphere?

• mesosphere

• stratosphere

• thermosphere

• troposphere

How is the stratosphere different from the troposphere?

• The clouds in the stratosphere produce more rain.

• The air in the stratosphere has a greater density.

• The composition of the stratosphere lacks ozone.

• The temperature of the stratosphere warms at higher altitude.

In which layers of the atmosphere does convection occur? Choose ALL appropriate answers.

HINT: the layer is warmer on the bottom than the top for convection to occur.

• troposphere

• stratosphere

• mesosphere

• thermosphere

he water cycle is the continuous movement of water between the Earth's surface and its atmosphere. An illustration of the water cycle is shown. Which of the following types of energy drives the water cycle and each of its processes?
