Air and Altitude

Air pressure is...

• height off of the ground
• how hard air particles push down on a surface
• average kinetic energy of particles
• moving air

The height above Earth's surface is....

• Latitude
• Altitude
• Air Pressure
• Temperature

As altitude increases, air pressure decreases.

• True
• False

As altitude decreases, air pressure increases

• True
• False

Temperature is....

• The height off of the ground
• force pushing down on a surface
• the average kinetic energy of particles
• none of these

As you increase in altitude, through the layers, the temperature is always decreasing

• True
• False

As you increase in altitude, through the layers, the temperature is always decreasing

• True
• False

If you cross from the stratosphere to the mesosphere what might you notice immediately?

• pressure change
• increase in temperature 
• decrease in temperature
• no changes

If you cross from the troposphere to the stratosphere what might you notice immediately?

• change in pressure
• increase in temperature
• decrease in temperature
• no changes

This layer is the most dense. 

• troposphere
• stratosphere
• mesosphere
• thermosphere
