the air cannot hold any more water vapor. If more water vapor is evaporated up, the water vapor in the air will condense… form clouds…. and then rain

Discussion question
Why is it necessary to build a campfire at night when camping in the desert?
The campfire is necessary because there is not enough water in the air to hold the heat in.
The campfire keeps away the dangerous predators of the desert.
The campfire is necesary for
siing-a-longs and ghost stories
The campfire makes it seem more like a true campsite.

Discussion question
Explain why wind speed changes with altitude.
Up in the upper altitudes the winds speed up because there is resistance , so there is no friction to slow it down.
As the winds move down towards the surface of the Earth, it begins to encounter trees and stuff and causes RESISTANCE.
The speed of the winds increases as the winds rise, because of less gravitational pull.
The speed of the winds change due to the tides.
what is the relationship between pressure and density?
The higher the density the higher the pressure
The lower the density the higher the pressure
There is no relationship between density and pressure
Select the one thiing that is not a particulates in our atmosphere
Dust
Cabon dioxide

What is absolute zero in Kelvin?
32°F
212°F
-459°F
100°C
0° K
What is the relationship between temperature and density?
As the temperature increases, the molecules inside the balloon move faster. They strike at the sides of the ballon, Balloon gets bigger, the molecules are more spread out causinig lower density.
As the temperature drops, the molecules inside the balloon move faster. They strike at the sides of the ballon, Balloon gets bigger, the molecules are closer together causinig lower density
As the temperature increases, the molecules gain kinetic energy and begin to vibrate in a fixed position much faster.
Just because something gets hot or cold does not affect the density of an object. Matter is what matter is.
Why has there been a big increase in the amount of carbon dioxide within the atmosphere?
The burning of fossil fuels releases a lot of carbon dioxide. This goes into our atmosphere.
Cutting down trees has reduced the planets ability to recycle our air. Plants take out Carbon dioxide and puts back fresh oxygen.
The hole in the ozone layer is allowing radiation to come in.
The trees are releasing too much carbon dioxide.
What is the atmosphere made of?
Gases such as Nitrogen and Oxygen
Particles such as dust
Water Droplets and Ice Crystals.
What is the GREENHOUSE EFFECT?
The Greenhouse Effect is the over-heating of the Earth due to the carbon dioxide build up in our atmosphere.
The Greenhouse Effect is an over-heating of our planet caused by the loss of ozone within our atmosphere.
The Greenhouse Effect is an over-heating of our planet caused by the build up of ozone within our atmosphere.
The Greenhouse Effect is an over-heating of our planet caused by the loss of carbon dioxide within our atmosphere.
A thick blanket of Ozone in the upper atmosphere – about 20m – 50m above the Earth’s surface.
Carbon dioxide shielding
Troposphere
Ozone layer found in the stratosphere
Ionosphere
Which of the following is NOT used to determine the amount of water vapor in our atmosphere?
Properties of the land surface beneath the air.
The season of the year
The altitude of particular masses of air
The kind of animals living there
Where is the Atmosphere?
Forms a border that frames the oceans.
The atmosphere is referring to the mood of the people due to the drastic weather that has come upon the face of the Earth.
The atmosphere is the lining for caves and caverns. It also forms a boundary for underground streams.
The atmosphere surrounds the Earth. It goes from the Earth’s surface to outer space.
Why are Holes in the ozone layer a scary thing?
Where there are holes, Radiation can slip in and damage life on Earth that live beneath the hole.
The hole in the ozone layer allows way much moonlight to enter our atmosphere. On the nights of the full moon, this excessive moonlight causes a condition called “Moon Madness”
The hole in the ozone layer does not seem to be causing us any problems since it is a naturally occuring event that has been going on since the beginning of time.
The hole in the ozone layer is allowing much needed oxygen to leak out of our atmosphere and to go into outer space.
The holes in the ozone layer could possibly allow alien spacecraft to use these holes as an entrance through out atmosphere.

How is this Ozone layer good for life on Earth?
The ozone layer keeps us warm at night by holding heat to the surface of the planet at night.
The ozone layer provides us with extra oxygen which we need to breathe.
The ozone layer provides necessary nutrients to the plant life on Earth, thus providing animal life with a food supply.
The ozone layer acts like a shield or barrier AGAINST Radiation from the sun
A solid particle that is floating in our atmosphere.
Sediment
Condiment
Contaminant
Particulate
How does Altitude affect air pressure?
As you go higher up, you are getting closer to the sun. Therefore, the temperature is going to rise. This increase in temperature will cause the pressure to go up.
The amount of thermal energy coming from the sun is the same for the entire planet. There does not seem to be any relationship between Altitude and Temperature.
As we go up into the atmosphere, we will see isolated pockets of increased temperature and decreased temperture depending upon the condition of the ozone layer.
As you go higher up into the atmosphere, the air becomes thinner and the pressure drops.
the outermost region of the Exosphere. Here the atoms and molecules are so far apart that they can drift off into outerspace.
The Carbon dioxide shield
The Ozone layer
The ionosphere
The Meander Zone
The Constellar Zone
What EFFECT does Carbon Dioxide Gas have on the Radiation of Heat Energy?
Carbon dioxide acts like a protective sheild that keeps heat energy from entering our atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide pulls heat from the sun just like a magnet pulls iron.
Carbon dioxide absorbs heat energy. This heat energy is then used in making clouds.
Carbon dioxide holds heat to the surface of the planet. Carbon dioxide will let heat in, but does not let it out.
The amount of air concentrated in a particular unit of volume, such as a inflated balloon is called:
Air Volume
Air Density
Air Humidity
Air Temperature
