Drag the descriptions of the layers of the atmosphere to the layers that they go with, recognizing that a layer may have more than one description.

auroras occur here
clouds and weather are found here
contains the ozone layer
highest layer of the atmosphere; air molecules go into space
lowest atmospheric layer
meteors burn up in this layer
satellites are generally placed in this layer
second layer from Earth
temperature decreases with height and can be -90C°
temperature increases greatly as you travel higher

Exosphere
Thermosphere
Mesosphere
Stratosphere

Which of the following reasons explain why Earth's surface heats unevenly?

Radioactivity (isotope decay) in Earth's core

the curvature of Earth's surface

the distribution of land and water

differences in groundcover

atmospheric transparency

Sort the events in order for how wind is produced.

solar radiation from the sun heats up earth's surface
warm air rises
land heats up faster than water, causing the air above it to warm up and rise
cold air which is an area of high pressure sinks and displaces the warm, less dense air

1

The apparent effect of a rotating body that influences the motion of any object or fluid moving over it. In the Northern Hemisphere on Earth, air and other objects (airplanes, missiles) move toward the right. In the Southern hemisphere, air and other objects move toward the left. What does this describe (vocabulary word)?
