Atmosphere

Front 1

4 main layers of the atmosphere

Back 1

troposphere,stratosphere, mesosohere, thermosohere

Front 2

Conduction

Back 2

the transfer of heat between two parts of a stationary system, caused by a temperature difference between the parts.

Front 3

Convection

Back 3

the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas.

Front 4

Radiation

Back 4

the process in which energy is emitted as particles or waves.

Front 5

Air Density- high and low

Back 5

The higher you up you are, the more dense the air is.

Front 6

Air pressure

Back 6

the force exerted by air, whether compressed or unconfined, on any surface in contact with it.

Front 7

Polar Easterlies

Back 7

dry, cold prevailing winds that blow from the high-pressure areas of the polar highs

Front 8

Prevailing Westerlies

Back 8

prevailing winds in the middle latitudes between 30 and 60 degrees latitude,

Front 9

Horse Latitudes

Back 9

the latitudes, approximately 30° N and S, forming the edges of the trade-wind belt, characterized by high atmospheric pressure with calms and light variable winds.

Front 10

Trade Winds

Back 10

any wind that blows in one regular course, or continually in the same direction.
