7.E.1 Weather Study Guide - Structure of the Atmosphere

What are the names of Earth's atmosphere layers from the surface of the earth to outer space?

• Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere

• Stratosphere, Troposphere, Mesosphere, Exosphere, Thermosphere

• Mesosphere, Troposphere, Stratosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere

• Troposphere, Mesosphere, Stratosphere, Exosphere, Thermosphere

The layer of the atmosphere with the greatest density is:

• Troposphere

• Stratosphere

• Mesosphere

• Thermosphere

The gas that makes up the greatest percentage of the Troposphere is:

• Oxygen

• Nitrogen

• Carbon Dioxide

• Argon

The gas in the STRATOSPHERE that is hazardous to humans when found in the TROPOSPHERE is:

• Ozone

• Nitrogen

• Carbon dioxide

• Helium

Weather occurs in which layer of the atmosphere?

• Stratosphere

• Troposphere

• Mesosphere

• Thermosphere

The layer that extends to outer space is:

• Troposphere

• Stratosphere

• Mesosphere

• Exosphere

As altitude increases, air density ________________________________

• decreases

• increases

• remains the same

• doubles

When a person climbs a mountain, what happens to the air and the levels of oxygen?

• The air becomes less dense and the levels of oxygen decrease.

• The air becomes more dense and the levels of oxygen increase.

• The air remains the same and the levels of oxygen do not change.

• The air becomes warmer and the levels of oxygen increase.

Water evaporates on Earth because of:

• the heat from the Sun

• the pull of gravity

• the rotation of the Earth

• the presence of wind only
