| Layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth? | troposphere |
| How CFC's destroy the ozone layer.? | destroy ozone molecule |
| Windless zone near the equator. | doldrums |
| What happens to evaporated water. | condenses into clouds |
| Where air is heated more than any place on Earth. | above equator |
| Caused by Earth's rotation. | Coriolis effect |
