Q

Stage One

A

Hydrogen and helium were so hot and moved so fast and hot

20
Q

Stage Two

A

Many volcanoes release water, carbon dioxide, and ammonia

21

22
Q

Mass

A

The amount of stuff in an object

23
Q

Solid

A

Set volume, set shape

24
Q

Liquid

25
Gas
Neither set volume or set shape
26
Vacuum
A three dimensional space with little/to no air pressure
27
Suction
Not somethin sucking; air pushing; imbalance of pressure;
28
Is space a vacuum
Yes
29
Units of Air pressure
Pounds per square inch, mm/in of mercury, kilopascals
30
Units of Pressure
Newton, pascal, pounds per square inch
31
Troposphere
1st 10k-0k Where the air circulates and causes weather Normal Pressure
32
Stratosphere
``` 2nd 10k-50k Ozone layer is here, so it heats up Absorbs radiation Pressure drops ```
33
Mesosphere
``` 3rd 50-80k Very cold Pressure drops Shooting stars dissolve here ```
34
Thermosphere
``` 4th 80-120k Lots of hot particles Pressure lowers Temperature lowers ```
35
Ionosphere
Different regions in each sphere where UV rays penetrate | Has three layers E, F, D
36
Exosphere
``` 5th 120k-190k Transition into space Little to no pressure Cold empty space ```
37
How does cup work
No pressure on inside so suction keeps it in
38
Can crush
Pressure from the outside crushed the vaccum in the can
