| radiation | transfer of energy in the form of waves or rays |
| convection | transfer of heat by flow of heated material |
| conduction | transfer of energy when molecules bump into one another |
| sun | where all of our energy in the atmosphere comes from |
| decreases | what does air pressure do as you go higher in the atmosphere |
| troposphere | layer of the atmosphere nearest Earth where weather occurs |
| stratosphere | what layer contains the ozone layer |
| ultraviolet | the ozone layer which protects us from this type of radiation |
| nitrogen | 78% of today's atmosphere is made up of this |
| jet streams | this makes storms move across the country |
| sea breeze | this type of breeze is created during the day |
| curved surface | this is way sun rays hit the Earth at different angles |
| sea level | where is air pressure greater at |
| ionosphere | this layer of the atmosphere has electrically charged particles and makes radio communication possible |
| rises | warm air expands and does this in the atmosphere |
