Layers of the
Atmosphere -100
Put
these layers in order
from lowest to highest
Thermosphere,
Stratosphere, Troposphere
and Mesosphere
Troposphere,
Stratosphere,
Mesosphere,
Thermosphere
Layers of the
Atmosphere -200
Which
layer is the one
that we live in?
Troposphere
Layers of the
Atmosphere – 300
Which
layer is the
coldest?
Mesosphere
Layers of the
Atmosphere - 400
The
stratosphere
contains the ozone layer.
What is the job of the
Ozone Layer?
To
protect us from
the Sun’s harmful
rays
Layers of the
Atmosphere - 500
The
thermosphere is
over 1,000 degrees
Celsius. Why does it
not feel hot?
The
particles of air are so far
apart, they do not bump
into each other. Heat can
only be created when
particle collide.
Heating the Earth -100
What
process sends
electromagnetic waves
from the Sun to the
Earth?
Radiation
Heating the Earth – 200
What
is the process of
heat traveling through
an object?
Thermal
Conduction
Heating the Earth - 300
What
process involves
the circulation of heat
in a liquid or a gas?
Convection
Heating the Earth – 400
Where
does most of
the earth’s heat
conduction take
place?
The
ground
Heating the Earth - 500
Which
of the three
processes take place
when I cook food in a
frying pan?
Conduction
(the
heat travels through
the pan)
Climate Change - 100
Which
gas is
responsible for
trapping the most
heat in the
atmosphere?
Carbon
Dioxide
Climate Change - 200
Name
two ways
higher temperatures
will impact the Earth.
 Warmer
Oceans
 Melted Glaciers
 Stronger Hurricanes
 Droughts
 Damaged Wildlife
 Higher Water Levels
Climate Change – 300
Explain
the
“Greenhouse Effect”.
How does it help the
Earth?
The
Greenhouse Effect
traps heat from the Sun
in our atmosphere. It
keeps the Earth warm.
Climate Change – 400
What
are 3 types of
clean energy
resources?
 Hydro-power
 Wind
Power
 Solar Power
 Nuclear Power
 Biomass Power
 Geothermal Power
Climate Change - 500
List
three specific ways
that you could save
energy and fight climate
change.
Save
on water
Unplug electronics
Car pool
Ride you bike/walk
Reuse and Recycle
The Atmosphere - 100
What
two main gases
make up the
atmosphere?
Oxygen
and Nitrogen
The Atmosphere – 200
What
are two jobs of the
atmosphere?
Protects
us from UV rays
Protects us from meteors
Provides us with oxygen
Keeps us warm
The Atmosphere – 300
What
is air pressure?
The
amount of air
particles pressing
down on you.
The Atmosphere - 400
How
are altitude and
air pressure related to
each other?
As
altitude goes up,
air pressure goes
down.
The Atmosphere - 500
What
determines the
temperature of the
atmosphere?
Layers
that absorb more
heat have higher
temperatures.
Layers that absorb less heat
have lower temperatures.
