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

Sort the events in order for how wind is produced.

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

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)?
