  3. Row 1, Col 1 What is the mesosphere? The coldest layer of the atmosphere.

  4. 1,2 What is the trospsphere? The layer of the atmosphere that is closest to the Earth’s surface.

  5. 1,3 What is radiation? Energy transferred as electromagnetic waves.

  6. 1,4 What is convection? Energy transferred by circulation of a liquid or gas.

  7. 2,1 What is nitrogen? The air we breathe consists mostly of this.

  8. 2,2 What is altitude? Air pressure decreases as this increases.

  9. 2,3 What is radiation? The warmth you feel when standing beneath a heat lamp is an example of this.

  10. 2,4 What is the greenhouse effect? A cold frame keeps plants alive in winter. The sun heats the inside of the frame, but its covering prevents heat from escaping. The way a cold frame works is similar to what?

  11. 3,1 What is the thermosphere/exosphere? If the layers of the atmosphere were a cake, the icing would be this.

  12. 3,2 What is the ionosphere? Auroras are caused by electronically charged particles in this layer.

  13. 3,3 What is about 2 billionths? This amount of the energy radiated by the sun actually reaches Earth.

  14. 3,4 What is absorbed the Earth’s surface? Most of the solar energy that reaches Earth’s atmosphere goes here.

  15. 4,1 What is because the gravity pulls gas molecules toward the surface? The reason the air pressure is greatest at the Earth’s surface.

  16. 4,2 What is nitrogen 78%, oxygen 21% other 1%? The composition (%) of gases in Earth’s atmosphere.

  17. 4,3 What is convection? Some ovens have a fan to circulate the hot air inside the oven cavity to make food cook more quickly/evenly. What is this an example of?

  18. 4,4 What is radiation? I class we popped popcorn. Identify the type of heat transfer that was used when we popped the popcorn in the microwave oven.

  19. 5,1 What is gases that absorb solar energy? Air temperature changes as altitude increases because of this.

  20. 5,2 What is radiation balance? The difference between Incoming solar energy and energy released from Earth into space is called this.

  21. 5,3 What is the greenhouse effect? The process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb thermal energy and radiate them back to Earth is called this.

  22. 5,4 What is an increase in greenhouse gases? Global warming may be caused by this.
