| A | B |
| Climate | The weather in some location averaged over some long period of time |
| Composition of Atmosphere | Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon |
| O3 | Ozone, protects the earth from UV rays, keeps heat in |
| Troposphere | Where weather occurs |
| Stratasphere | Jets fly and where the Ozone is located |
| Factors that affect Temperature | Oceans, Winds, Elevation, Latitude |
| Rain Shadow | Desert on the leeward side of mountain ranges |
| Weather | Day to Day change in Temperature, Wind, and Precipitation |
| Layers of the Atmosphere | Troposphere, Stratasphere, Mesophere, Thermosphere, Exosphere |
| Latitude | Distance from the Equator |
| Latitudinal Climate Zones | Tropical(Equitorial), Temperate, Polar |
| Albedo | Relection of UV Rays from clouds and snow |
| Polar Zone | Cold, Indirect sun rays, albedo |
| Tropical Zone | Humid, Hot, Direct sun rays |
| Temperate Zone | Distinct seasons |
| Trade Winds | Westerlies, Tropical Zone(Equitorial) |
| Jet Stream | Easterlies, Temperate, Buffer between cold/dry and warm/wet air |
| Greenhouse Effect | The holding in of some of the sun's energy |
| Effects of Global Warming | melting of Polar Ice Caps, Rise in Sea-Level, Flooding of coastal cities |
| Theory of Continentinality | Temperture ranges are greater the farther land is away from a water body |
| Conservation | To save energy/resources |
| Recycling | Using a finished product again as a raw material for a new product |
| Landfills | Where polluted substances are delivered and stored |
| Clouds | Water Vapor, albedo |
