The order of the layers of the atmosphere from earth to outer space is
A Thermosphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Troposphere, Exosphere
B Troposphere, Mesosphere, Stratosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere
C Troposphere, Stratosphere, Thermosphere, Mesosphere, Exosphere
D Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere
The ozone layer is found in the
Troposphere
Stratosphere
Mesosphere
Thermosphere
In the troposphere, as altitude increases
air pressure decreases
temperature decreases
air density decreases
all of the above
Which phase change in the atmosphere forms clouds?
evaporation
freezing
condensation
melting
At which location is rainfall most likely to occur?
1
2
3

Which of the following scenerios is the best example of energy transfer by conduction?
A cold ocean water sinking near the poles
B burning your hand when you touch a hot stove
C wind blowing from the ocean to the land on a hot day
D hot magma inside a volcano rising toward the surface to erupt
Usually, as air temperature increases, air pressure
increase
remain stable
decrease
According to this map, where are they enjoying clear, sunny skies?
A
B
These high level clouds are very wispy.
cirrus
cumulus
cirrocumulus
nimbostratus
The movement of air from land to sea at night, created when cooler, denser air from the land forces up warmer air over the sea
tornado
sea breeze
land breeze
convection
When warm air becomes trapped between two cold fronts
cold front
warm front
stationary front
occluded front
The atmosphere is composed of mainly
Oxygen
Argon
Carbon Dioxide
Nitrogen
Which gas is released into the atmosphere by plants as they photosynthesize?
Oxygen
Argon
Carbon Dioxide
Nitrogen
An air mass that forms over an ocean is called
tropical
continential
maritime
polar
Cool, clear weather usually follows a
warm front
cold front
stationary front
occluded front
How are air masses classified?
by temperature and pressure
by pressure and humidity
by temperature and density
by temperaure and humidity
Energy from the sun travels to Earth's surface by
radiation
convection
evaporation
conduction
Bands of high-altitude, high-speed winds are called
sea breezes
land breezes
jet streams
local winds
Rain, sleet, and hail are all forms of
evaporation
precipitation
condensation
convection
A rapidly moving cold air mass meets a slowly moving warm air mass and forms a front. What will most likely occur at this front?
The two air masses will mix together
The warm air will slide under the cold air. The cold air will rise and get warmer.
Cold air will slide under the warm air. Warm air will rise and cool. Clouds will form.
The dess dense warm air will sink and cool. Clouds will form.
