The
stratosphere
contains the ozone layer.
What is the job of the
Ozone Layer?
To
protect us from
the Sun’s harmful
UV rays
Layers of the
Atmosphere - 500
What
happens to the
water vapor, pressure,
and temperature as
you move up the
troposphere?
They
all decrease with
increasing altitude
Heating the Earth -100

Heating the Earth - 300
What
process involves
the circulation of heat
in a liquid or a gas?
Convection
Heating the Earth – 400
Describe
how a
convection current
circulates.
Warmer
less
dense air rises
and colder more
dense air sinks
Heating the Earth - 500
Which
substance heats
up and cools down the
slowest and why?
Water-
because it
has the highest
specific heat
Water Cycle- 100
What
is transpiration
Water
moving
into the
atmosphere
from plants
Water Cycle- 200
What
is condensation
and what does it form
in the atmosphere?
 Water
vapor turning to liquid water and it
happens when you form clouds
Water Cycle– 300

gained, and how
much heat?
Melting
 334 J and
vaporizing  2250 J
Water Cycle– 400

surface
features can
decrease the
amount of
infiltration?
 Freezing
 Heavy

how liquid
water in the ocean
moves through the water
cycle and goes back to
the ocean.
Evaporation,
condensation,
precipitation, runoff

are the pauses in
the atmosphere and
what causes them?
The
boundaries between
the different layers of the
atmosphere and its caused
by temperature differences
