Question 17

Combination of atmosphere by the intro of pollutants from human and natural resources.

Answer 17

Air pollution

Question 18

Rain, sleet, or snow that contains a high concentration of acids

Answer 18

Acid precipitation

Question 19

Mixture of gases that surrounds a planet or moon.

Answer 19

Atmosphere

Question 20

Density and transfer of heat

Answer 20

The more dense the material, the better the heat transfers

Question 21

Layers of atmosphere

Answer 21

Troposphere
Stratosphere
Mesosphere
Thermosphere

Question 22

Compare earths atmosphere to the glass covering a greenhouse

Answer 22

Both will allow solar radiation through and will both stop energy from escaping

Question 23

Mountain breeze

Answer 23

At night, when cool air moves down the slopes

Question 24

Sea breeze

Answer 24

Day time, when water is cooler than land because land is warm. The breeze will become warmer as it comes off ocean and onto land

Question 25

Land breeze

Answer 25

Night time, when cool air stays on land and warm air stays on ocean.

Question 26

Relationship between air pressure and altitude

Answer 26

Air pressure decreases as altitude decreases

Question 27

Where is the ozone layer found and what does it do

Answer 27

Found in the stratosphere and it filters Ultra Violet light
