What is 1%?
Instrument used
to measure air
pressure.
What is a
barometer?
The process by
which gases hold
heat in the
atmosphere.
What is the
greenhouse effect?
Air that tends to be
more dense and
flow under warm
air.
What is cool air?
Mass divided by
volume.
What is density?
How the layers of
the atmosphere are
classified.
What are changes
in temperature?
Earth’s rotation
makes global
winds curve.
What is the
Coriolis effect?
Are caused by
unequal heating in
a small area.
What are local
winds?
Is used to measure
how hot or cold the
air is.
What is a
thermometer?
Atmospheric gas
that forms clouds
when it condenses.
What is water
vapor?
The inner layer of
the atmosphere
where people live.
What is the
troposphere?
A barometer that
measures air
pressure by using a
metal chamber that
is sensitive to
pressure changes.
What is an aneroid
barometer?
Water in the form
of a gas.
What is water
vapor?
Extends from the
top of the
troposphere to the
bottom of the
mesosphere.
What is the
stratosphere?
What air pressure
does as you rise up
in the atmosphere.
What is decrease?
Where weather
occurs.
What is the
troposphere?
Troposphere,
stratosphere,
mesosphere, and
thermosphere.
What is the order

of the atmosphere
from Earth to
space?
Lowest and
shallowest layer of
the atmosphere.
What is the
troposphere?
What the ozone
layer protects living
things on Earth
from.
What is ultraviolet
radiation?
A form of oxygen
with three oxygen
atoms in each
molecule.
What is ozone?
Where the ozone
layer is found.
What is the
stratosphere?
Uneven heating of
the atmosphere
leads to differences
in _____ which
causes wind.
What is air
pressure?
Gas that is found
in the greatest
amount in the
atmosphere.
What is nitrogen?
The layer of the
atmosphere located
between the
stratosphere and
the thermosphere.
What is the
mesosphere?
The major wind
belts over the
continental United
States, that generally
push air masses west
to east.
What are the
prevailing
westerlies?
Winds that blow
steadily from
specific directions
over long distances.
What are global
winds?
The increased
cooling that the
wind can cause.
What is the
windchill factor?
The average
amount of energy
of motion of each
particle of a
substance.
What is
temperature?
The upward
movement of
warm air and the
downward
movement of cool
air .
What are
convection
currents?
The transfer of heat
by the movement of
a fluid.
