Atmospheric Pressure is all the air particles above you pushing down on you.

True

False

The number of particles in our atmosphere __________ with an increase in altitude.

increases

decreases

stays the same

What is the density (spacing) of the particles in the atomsphere

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Bottom Section of Atmosphere
Middle section of Atmosphere
Top Section of Atmosphere

What is the basis for dividing the 4 layers?

changes in oxygen content

changes in number of particles

changes in temperature

changes in water content

		made of ice crystals and look like long, thin, wispy white streamers high in the sky commonly known as "mare's tails" because they are shaped like the tail of a horse
		can grow up to 10 km high high winds will flatten the top of the cloud out into an anvil-like shape are thunderstorm clouds associated with heavy rain, snow, hail, lightning, and sometimes tornadoes
		puffy white or light gray clouds that look like floating cotton balls have sharp outlines and a flat base at a height of 1000m.

Use the information about DISTANCE above

Which layer is the example found in?

	Troposphere	Stratosphere	Mesosphere	Thermosphere
Blackbird SR-70 plane flies at 26 km
bird that flies the highest is at 10 km
International Space Station at 300 km
Meteors burn up at 51-80km
Ozone molecules between 20-30 km
