| What is the source of all energy? | The sun |
| What is the layer of atmosphere called that is near the earth? | troposphere |
| Which sphere is located in outer space? | exosphere |
| What are caused when the land heats and cools more quickly than the water? | sea and breezes |
| In what spheres are temperatures very warm? | thermosphere and exosphere |
| What is it called when energy is in the form of rays or waves? | radiation |
| What causes the earth to rotate? | Coriolis effect |
| What happens when there is conduction energy? | molecules bump together |
| What happens to atmospheric pressure when moving up away from sea level? | It decreases. |
| What is convection energy? | i.e. burner to pot- transfer of heat flow to a heated material |
| Why is there little wind in the doldrums? | Air expands creating low pressure |
| Which sphere contains the highest concentration of ozone? | stratosphere |
| flow of air caused by __and Coriolis effect creates wind patterns on earth | difference in heating |
| cold air has more molecules than warm air, so it has __ pressure | higher |
| Chlorofluorocarbons harm ozone layer by __ | destroying ozone molecules |
| water vapor into a liquid | condensation |
| charged electrical particles are found | ionosphere |
| cool dense air over the water inland | sea breeze |
| air rises here because of low density and low pressure | equator |
| windless zone by the equator | doldrums |
| earth energy from the sun | absorbs by the atmosphere, land, water & reflects into space |
| reflection and absorbtion stops this from reaching earth | radiation |
| scientists believe this is damaging the ozone layer | chlorofluorocarbons |
| steady winds between equator & 30 latitude | trade winds |
| if the ozone layer disappeared, life would be exposed to __ ultraviolet rays | higher |
| air pressure is greatest here | sea level |
| air above equator is heated more because solar rays strike the equator ___ | more directly |
| earth's surface receives same radiation because __ | it's curved |
| moves much of weather in US | prevailing westerlies |
| has the high level of ozone | stratosphere |
