. List the names of the six layers of the atmosphere in order from lowest to highest.
- Troposphere 2) stratosphere 3) mesosphere 4) ionosphere 5) Exosphere 6) Thermosphere
5. The mesosphere is the layer that protects the Earth from meteoroids
6. The ozone layer is contained in the stratosphere
7. Solar energy is infrared radiation that is felt as heat and has wavelengths longer than that of red light.
8. The daytime sky appears blue because when you look at the sky, the light you see has been scattered by gas molecules in the atmosphere. Gas molecules scatter short wavelengths of visible light (blue or violet) more than long wavelengths (red & orange).

4. infrared radiation: Is not visible by humans but can be felt as heat and has wavelengths longer than wavelengths for red light.
5. ultraviolet radiation: an invisible form of energy with wavelengths that are shorter than ultraviolet light.
6.Greenhouse Effect – is a natural process that keeps Earth’s atmosphere at a temperature that is comfortable for most living things.
7. Global Winds- are winds that blow steadily from specific directions over long distances.
8. Coriolis effect – the effect of Earth’s rotation on the direction of winds and currents.
9. Storm Surge: the rush of ocean, lake or river water that is caused by powerful winds.
10. Drought: a long period of scarce rainfall or dry weather.
11. Flood: An overflowing of water in a normally dry area.
12. Levee: A mound of earth that is built to prevent flooding.
13. Nitrogen: The most abundant gas in the atmosphere. It makes up about ¾ of the air we breathe.
14. Oxygen: Second most abundant gas in the atmosphere, making up 21% of the volume of air.
15. Trace gases: make up the smallest amount of gases in the atmosphere (1%). They are called “trace gases” because only a small amount (trace) are present in the Earth’s atmosphere.

8. The daytime sky appears blue because when you look at the sky, the light you see has been scattered by gas molecules in the atmosphere. Gas molecules scatter short wavelengths of visible light (blue or violet) more than long wavelengths (red & orange).
9. Gases hold heat in the atmosphere through a process called the greenhouse effect.
10. The level of carbon dioxide has increased steadily over the past 200 years.
11. Water vapor, carbon dioxide & methane are greenhouse gases that absorb the heat leaving the Earth’s surface.
12. Look at the picture on page 236.Describe (in test notes) what happens to the energy provided by the sun as it passes through the atmosphere in the form of radiation. Answer: When energy provided by the sun passes through the atmosphere, most ultraviolet radiation penetrates the thermosphere and is absorbed in the mesosphere. But almost all visible light makes it to the troposphere. More infrared radiation than ultraviolet radiation makes it to the stratosphere and troposphere.
13. Convection currents in the atmosphere are created by the differences in temperature between the equator and the two poles.
14. Sunspots are dark, cooler regions on the surface of the sun. Sunspots increase when the sun gives off more light, and they can be used to measure solar output.
15. A “hurricane warning” means that hurricane conditions are expected within the next 24 hours.
16. Ultraviolet radiation is harmful. The ozone layer helps to screen the harmful rays.
17. The safest places to be during a tornado are a basement or interior rooms that have no windows.
18. All areas of Florida are at risk from hurricanes.
19. The difference between a tornado watch and a tornado warning are: A tornado watch is an announcement that tornadoes are possible in your area. A tornado warning is an announcement that a tornado has been seen in the sky or on weather radar.
20. The two ways to help reduce the dangers of floods are: Dams and levees help reduce floods. A dam is a barrier across a river that may redirect the flow or the river to other channels. A levee is a mound of earth that is built to prevent flooding.

24. Changes in the Earth’s orbit and the tilt of the axis are causes for the 100,000 year cycle of ice ages.
25. The 4 main layers of the atmosphere are classified according to changes in temperature.
26. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs are a type of man made gases that were found to cause the ozone depletion.
27. Greenhouse gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane absorb the heat leaving the Earth’s surface.
