Define the following terms:
A. Atmosphere
The mass of air surrounding a planet
B. Atmospheric pressure
The pressure exerted by the atmosphere on all objects within it
C. Barometer
An instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure
D. Homosphere
The lower layer of earths atmosphere, which exists from ground level to roughly 80 km (50 miles) above sea level
E. Heterosphere
The upper layer of earths atmosphere which exists higher than roughly 80 km above sea level
F. Troposphere
The region of the atmosphere that extends from ground level to roughly 11 km (7 miles) above sea level
G. Stratosphere
The region of the atmosphere that spans attitude of 11 km to 48 km (30 miles)
H. Mesosphere
The region of the atmosphere that spans altitudes of 48 to 80 km (50 miles)
I. Jet streams
Narrowband of a high – speed winds that circle the earth blowing from west to east
J. Heat
Energy that is transferred as a consequence of temperature differences
K. Temperature
A measure of energy of random motion in a substances molecules
L. Thermosphere
The region of the atmosphere between altitude of roughly 80 km and 460 km
M. Exosphere
The region of the atmosphere above an altitude of roughly 460 km
N. Ionosphere
The region of the atmosphere between the altitude of roughly 65 km in 333 km where the gases are ionized
Suppose the earths atmosphere contain twice the number of molecules then it does today. Would the atmospheric pressure be greater than, equal to, or less than it is now?
It would be greater than
Do you send making two different parameters are there they are play side to side so they are both expose exactly same atmospheric pressure, the come of liquid in the first student from Adair is nipping at my lawyers in the car in the water in the second student barometer doing both student made their braminus correctly what explains the difference?
They use two different liquids
The average, see you – level value for atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pound per square inch, which is the same as 29.9 inches of mercury. If the atmospheric pressure is 0.85 ATMs, which of the following values would correspond to atmospheric pressure as reported in a weather report
25.4 inches of mercury
2015 air samples taken at different outings. The first is composed of 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen and 1% other. The second is 95% helium, 4% oxygen, and 1% other which came from the Homosphere
The first vile
You’re reading the data coming from my data data gathering as it rises in the atmosphere. You have no idea what altitude it is at, but the blueness sending a signal from your manager telling you the temperature of the surroundings. How are you know when the blue and enters the stress year? How do you know when it enters the metro swear
When the temperature starts to increase and then when the temperature starts to decrease again
Name three regions of the homosphere , from the lowest to the highest
Troposphere, Stratosphere, metrosphere
Although the temperature at radiant changes from region to region, in the homeless here, there is one gradient the stays the same. He continues to decrease as you increase in altitude, no matter where you are in the home. What’s the gradient?
Amount gradients
Explained experiencing a lot of problems because of the storm in the area. It’s a flying flying in the troposphere or the stratosphere
Troposphere
I sent this to vials and Mona gas. She tells you they’re in the first row, the gas monkeys are trailing an average speed of 1000 mph. In the second row, they are traveling in average rate of 1000 which
The second
As you are outside in on a cold winter night, you begin the shivers and Nicole. Your convenience if you’re shivering from the heat. If you can’t handle incorrect? My right nut
Yes heat is energy days been transferred/how fast market are moving
Suppose there are a layer of carbon dioxide gas in master of the year what would happen to temperature gradient in that region?
Warm-up
When will the band on CFCs most likely not safe or improve people’s lives
The ozone hole happens over Antarctica under certain conditions
Why will the band and see if she’s mostly result in a tragic loss of human life
Because it such a useful chemical it helped refrigeration and to put out fires also to sterilize medical tools
Even though humans do I Seshan is responsible for less than 1% of all chlorine in the atmosphere, it is responsible for 80% of all I was under strain Thorne
See if these are so inapt and can survive the trip up there
What makes it possible for CFCs to travel up to O-Zone layer and begin destroying O-Zone
The polar vortex
Where is the ionosphere, and what makes it useful to us
The ionosphere is between hedero and homosphere
it’s where the northern lights are?
