3
What is the most abundant gas in the air we
breathe?
4
How is wind created?

• A. Differences in oxygen levels
• B. Differences in pressure
• C. Differences in humidity
• D. Differences in altitude

5
List the layers of the atmosphere in order from
closest to earth to space.
6
What is the air like over water during a sea
breeze?

• A. Air over the water is cooler, so there is
  high pressure and air moves toward land
• B. Air over the water is cooler, so there is low
  pressure and air moves toward land
• C. Air over the water is warmer, so there is
  high pressure and air moves toward land
• D. Air over the water is warmer, so there is
  lower pressure and air moves toward land

7
As altitude increases, what does pressure do?
8
How does wind generally move?

• A. From areas of higher pressure to areas of
  lower pressure
• B. From areas of lower pressure to areas of
  higher pressure

9
Increasing the greenhouse effect would cause
what?
10
Ozone reacts with auto exhausts to form what?

of

• A. Ozone
• B. Nitrogen
• C. Radiation
• D. Carbon dioxide

13
Where is the ozone layer located?
14
When you leave a metal spoon in a hot pot on the
stove, heat transfers to the spoon through which
process, convection or conduction?
15
Draw and explain how convection cells transfer
energy in Earths atmosphere.
16
What causes winds to curve to the right in the
Northern Hemisphere?

• A. The jet stream
• B. The Coriolis Effect
• C. The Greenhouse Effect

17

Local or Both.

• A. Short distances
• B. Long distances
• C. Patterns that move across globe
• D. Move in any direction
