Troposphere
The Earth’s pressure ___________________as
rapidly decreases
you go up in Earth’s Atmosphere
Which layer of Earth’s Atmosphere is 80% of the Earth’s air located in?
Troposphere
True or False: the layers of the atmosphere
are determined by the change of air
pressure.
False- it is determined by the change in
temperature
True or False: The temperature steadily
decrease as you rise in elevation in Earth’s
atmosphere.
False- temperature decreases, increases,
decreases, and then increases at each
layer change
Prevailing winds- Wind blows from one direction more than any other direction
The pattern of prevailing winds influences global climatesWinds move moisture and heat around the world and also produce much of our weather.
