| Term | Definition |
|---|
| depending on elevation and weather conditions | are called Variable gasses |
| what are some Permanent gasses | water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2) |
| All heat is transferred in how many ways | 3 ways |
| what are 3 ways heat is transfered | Convection, Radiation, Conduction |
| one example of conduction is | burning ur hand on the stove |
| one example of radiation | sun warming your hands |
| one example of convection | lava lamp |
| how is convection's heat transfered | through the circulation or movement of a liquid or gas |
| how is radiation's heat transfered | through electromagnetic waves mostly in the form of light |
| how is conduction's heat transfered | through direct physical contact |
| Atmosphere is the mixture of gasses that surround a | planet |
| Oxygen is important because | living things need it for respiration |
| Water Vapor is the ________form of water | gaseous |
| 1. What are two types of gasses | Variable and permanent |
| Permanent | Nitrogen, oxygen, argon, helium |
| the most dense layer; Closest to Earth’s surface; Has most of Earth’s weather | Troposphere |
| Contains the ozone layer | Stratosphere |
| Coldest layer; Has no water vapor and no weather | Mesosphere |
| Has the highest temperatures; Least dense layer; Has the Ionosphere | Thermosphere |
| Are there clear boundaries between each layer? | No |
| 1. Is there weather in the Mesosphere? | No |
| 2. What is beyond the Exosphere? | Space |
| 3. Where is our weather? | Mostly in the Troposphere |
| 4. Where is the Ozone layer? | Stratosphere |
| 5. How many layers of Earth’s atmosphere? | 4 |
| Heat is carried by air currents (wind) | radiation |
| Can pass heat through a solid object | conduction |
| Ocean currents transfer heat in this way | convection |
| Requires a liquid or gas | conduction |
| Typically heats the ground | radiation |
| Hot the handle on a pot gets hot | conduction |
| Heat felt from a light bulb from 1 foot away | radiation |
| Warmth felt when standing sunlight | radiation |
| Circulates cold ocean water near the poles to the Equator | convection |
| Keeps food warm at a restaurant when it is sitting under special lights | radiation |
| Circulates warm air from the equator to other parts of earth | convection |
| Air heated that is very close to Earth’s warm surface | radiation |
