amount of water vapor in the air

amount of particulates in the air

Why do you lose your breath more easily when climbing a high mountain?

The air pressure decreases (less air molecules)

There is more nitrogen in the air

Which statements are true? Take your time. Read each statement carefully. What is it saying?

The highest air pressure is in the troposphere.

Temperature in the troposphere decreases with altitude.

Air pressure in the mesosphere is higher than in the stratosphere.

Most weather occurs in the stratosphere.

Identify the true statements about the atmosphere's layers. Take your time. Read each statement carefully. What is it saying?

Weather mostly occurs in the troposphere.

The thickest layer of the atmosphere is the thermosphere.

The stratosphere protects Earth from meteoroids .

The ozone layer is in the mesosphere.

What are the main layers of the atmosphere from Earth to space ? ***Begin your list with the layer closest to Earth (1). ***The last one on your list will be farthest from Earth (4) Earth 1 2 3 4 Space

In which layers of the atmosphere do airplanes fly?

Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, and Thermosphere

Why is the air moving downward?

It has been cooled in the upper atmosphere and is sinking back to the surface.

As the cooler air rises, it pushes the warmer air back to the surface to be cooled.

It has been warmed by the sun and is transferring heat to the surface.

Radiation and convection of the sun's energy transfer thermal energy. This transfer —

powers the global circulation of the atmosphere

creates the energy needed to produce nonrenewable resources

transforms the sun's energy into usable forms like petroleum and coal

Which statement about cloud formation is correct?

Clouds form when water vapor in the air cools and turns into tiny liquid droplets or ice crystals

Cold air rises and gives off thermal energy to form clouds.

Clouds form from the condensing of oxygen vapor particles.
