Important Questions:

1. What is a gas formed by the addition of a third oxygen atom to an oxygen molecule (O 2). It exists in small quantities in layer above earth's surface. It also absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. (protects our skin from the sun)

2. What is the layer closest to the earth's surface. Contains most of the mass of the atmosphere, including water vapor. layer in which most weather takes place and most air pollution collects.

3. A layer made up primarily of concentrated ozone is called __________.

4. A layer above the stratopause. No concentrated ozone, so the temperature decreases once again. What is the name of the layer?

5. Contains only minute portion of the atmosphere's mass. Because the air molecules are so sparse and widely spread out it would not seem warm to people passing through it. What is the name?

6. It is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere. Light gases such as helium and hydrogen are here. Outer space is above this layer. There is no clear boundary between the atmosphere and space (there is simply fewer and fewer molecules with increasing altitude. What is it?

7. Energy from sun. the transfer of energy through space by visible light, ultraviolet radiation and other forms of electromagnetic waves causes it... "this warms Earth's surface". What is the name?

8. This is the transfer of Energy that occurs when molecules collide, energy is transferred from the bottom of the pot into the lowest part of the water. affects only a very thin atmospheric layer near Earth's surface. What is the name?

9. If hot air rises and cold air sinks---flow of air. The transfer of energy by the flow of a heated substance-in this case the water is called ____________

10. the transfer of energy that occurs because of a difference in temperature between substances is called ____________

11. temperature at which the air cools to 100% is called ____________

12. This occurs when matter changes state from a gas to a liquid. (water vapor to rain)

13. This is an increase in temperature with height in an atmospheric layer. the temperature-altitude relationship is inverted, or turned upside down.

14. The amount of water vapor in air is called ____________

15. When warm air holds more water. the ratio of water vapor in a volume of air relative to how much water vapor in a volume of air is capable of holding. varies with temperature is called ____________

16. When wind encounters a mountain and the air has no place to go but up. This method of cloud formation is called ____________

17. When cloud droplets collide, they join together and form a larger droplet in a process called ____________

18. This includes all forms of water, both liquid, and solid, that form from clouds. rain, snow, sleet, hail is called ____________
