Which layer of the atmosphere contains most of the gasses (over 90%), so it is considered the thickest layer?
infrared light
They decrease
mesosphere
allowing water to evaporate into space
troposphere
convection
It traps heat energy from the Sun, creating temperatures that sustain life on Earth
Conduction
The circulation of heat through fluids, the less dense fluid rises and the denser, cooler substance sinks
infrared light
They decrease
mesosphere
allowing water to evaporate into space
troposphere
convection
It traps heat energy from the Sun, creating temperatures that sustain life on Earth
Conduction
This is the type of radiation/ light that we feel as warmth
infrared light
They decrease
mesosphere
allowing water to evaporate into space
troposphere
convection
It traps heat energy from the Sun, creating temperatures that sustain life on Earth
Conduction
Which layer of the atmosphere destroys meteoroids?
infrared light
They decrease
mesosphere
allowing water to evaporate into space
troposphere
convection
It traps heat energy from the Sun, creating temperatures that sustain life on Earth
Conduction
You step on the sand and burn your foot. How was heat transferred to your foot?
infrared light
They decrease
mesosphere
allowing water to evaporate into space
troposphere
convection
It traps heat energy from the Sun, creating temperatures that sustain life on Earth
Conduction
The greenhouse effect is a dynamic process that affects Earth’s environment. It involves radiation, heat, and gases; it has both positive and negative results. Which of these is a positive result of Earth's greenhouse effect?
infrared light
They decrease
mesosphere
allowing water to evaporate into space
troposphere
convection
It traps heat energy from the Sun, creating temperatures that sustain life on Earth
Conduction
As you increase in altitude, what happens to the temperatures?
infrared light
They decrease
mesosphere
allowing water to evaporate into space
troposphere
convection
It traps heat energy from the Sun, creating temperatures that sustain life on Earth
Conduction
Which of these is NOT a function of Earth's atmosphere?
infrared light
They decrease
mesosphere
allowing water to evaporate into space
troposphere
convection
It traps heat energy from the Sun, creating temperatures that sustain life on Earth
Conduction
