Which gas makes up 78% of the atmosphere?
Oxygen
Carbon Dioxide
Nitrogen
Which gas makes up 21% of our atmosphere?
Nitrogen
Oxygen
Carbon Dioxide
This is the source of all heat energy in our atmosphere
Moon
Sun
Water
Earth's atmosphere traps energy from the Sun, which
allows ozone to form
allows water to exist as a liquid
Air has pressure because
air is warm
air has mass
the troposphere is in the tropics
The instrument that we use to measure air pressure is called
thermometer
hydrometer
barometer
As you move from sea-level to the top of a mountain, air pressure
increases
decreases
When climbing a high mountain, you get out of breath more easily because
The percentage of oxygen decreases
the air is more dense
there is less oxygen in each cubic meter of air
As temperature increases, air pressure will
increase
decrease
As temperature decreases, air pressure
increases
decreases
As elevation increases, air pressure
increases
decreases
As water vapor increases, air pressure
increases
decreases
Electrically charged particles are found primarily in this layer.
troposphere
exosphere
stratosphere
ionosphere
The layer of the atmosphere where weather occurs is the
troposphere
mesosphere
exosphere
stratosphere
Which layer of the atmosphere protects Earth from being hit by most meteoroids?
tropsphere
mesosphere
exosphere
stratosphere
Radio waves are reflected back to Earth by particles in the
exosphere
mesosphere
ionosphere
thermosphere
The ozone layer is located in which layer of the atmosphere?
stratosphere
mesosphere
troposphere
ionosphere
Why does air pressure decrease as you get higher in the atmosphere?
There is less air per cubic meter as you increase in altitude
There is more air per cubic meter as you increase in altitude
Meteors burn up as they enter our atmosphere in this layer
stratosphere
mesosphere
exosphere
Where does all weather occur?
Troposphere
Stratosphere
Exosphere
Mesosphere
Which is the coldest layer?
troposphere
stratosphere
mesosphere
exosphere
The hottest layer of the atmosphere is
troposphere
thermosphere
stratosphere
mesosphere
As you move through the TROPOSPHERE, temperatures will
increase (get hotter)
decrease (get colder)
Stay the same
As you move through the STRATOSPHERE, temperatures will
increase (get hotter)
decrease (get colder)
Stay the same
As you move through the MESOSPHERE, temperatures will
increase (get hotter)
decrease (get colder)
Stay the same
As you move through the THERMOSPHERE, temperatures will
increase (get hotter)
decrease (get colder)
Stay the same
The ionosphere and exosphere are part of the
tropsphere
mesosphere
thermosphere
stratosphere

mesosphere
Which layer is "B"
stratosphere
thermosphere
troposphere
mesosphere
Which layer is "C"
stratosphere
thermosphere
troposphere
mesosphere
Which layer is "D"
stratosphere
thermosphere
troposphere
mesosphere
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) has increased due to
decrease of population
increase of burning fossil fuels
