Scientists monitor ozone in the upper atmosphere and at ground level. Changing concentrations of each can cause health problems for people. Which set of changes would cause the MOST health concerns?
condensation.
warm water temperatures in the tropics
the rotation of Earth beneath the layer of air
a decrease in atmospheric ozone, and an increase in ground level ozone
incoming solar radiation
troposphere
absorbing infrared radiation released by Earth.
the temperature of the water below the hurricane
When air rises over the open ocean, a low-pressure system is formed. Which factor increases the potential of a low-pressure system developing into a hurricane in the Northern Hemisphere?
condensation.
warm water temperatures in the tropics
the rotation of Earth beneath the layer of air
a decrease in atmospheric ozone, and an increase in ground level ozone
incoming solar radiation
troposphere
absorbing infrared radiation released by Earth.
the temperature of the water below the hurricane
Meteorologists categorize hurricanes based on the Saffir-Simpson scale. The scale measures the intensity and destructive potential of hurricanes. Which factor has the MOST significant effect on the strength of a hurricane?
condensation.
warm water temperatures in the tropics
the rotation of Earth beneath the layer of air
a decrease in atmospheric ozone, and an increase in ground level ozone
incoming solar radiation
troposphere
absorbing infrared radiation released by Earth.
the temperature of the water below the hurricane
In which layer of Earth’s atmosphere does weather occur?
condensation.
warm water temperatures in the tropics
the rotation of Earth beneath the layer of air
a decrease in atmospheric ozone, and an increase in ground level ozone
incoming solar radiation
troposphere
absorbing infrared radiation released by Earth.
the temperature of the water below the hurricane
A strong wind from the north blows in a straight south direction. However, to an observer, the wind appears to be moving to the southwest. What accounts for this shift in wind direction?
condensation.
warm water temperatures in the tropics
the rotation of Earth beneath the layer of air
a decrease in atmospheric ozone, and an increase in ground level ozone
incoming solar radiation
troposphere
absorbing infrared radiation released by Earth.
the temperature of the water below the hurricane
Atmospheric greenhouse gases help heat the atmosphere by
condensation.
warm water temperatures in the tropics
the rotation of Earth beneath the layer of air
a decrease in atmospheric ozone, and an increase in ground level ozone
incoming solar radiation
troposphere
absorbing infrared radiation released by Earth.
the temperature of the water below the hurricane
Ocean currents, prevailing wind patterns, and other atmospheric disturbances are initially caused by which of these?
condensation.
warm water temperatures in the tropics
the rotation of Earth beneath the layer of air
a decrease in atmospheric ozone, and an increase in ground level ozone
incoming solar radiation
troposphere
absorbing infrared radiation released by Earth.
the temperature of the water below the hurricane
The process by which water vapor in the atmosphere cools and becomes a liquid is called
condensation.
