Layers Of The Atmosphere

Front 1

Four Main Layers Of the Atmosphere.

Back 1

Thermosphere, Mesosphere, Stratosphere, troposphere.

Front 2

The trnsfer of energy as heat through a material.

Back 2

Conduction

Front 3

Convection

Back 3

the transfer of thermal energy by the circulation or movement of a liquid or gas.

Front 4

Radiation

Back 4

the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves

Front 5

High and low air density

Back 5

The less dense and warmer the surrounding air rises.
More dense and colder so air sinks.

Front 6

Caused by unequal heating of the earth.

Back 6

Air Pressure.

Front 7

Polar easterlies.

Back 7

WInd belts that extend from the poles to 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres.

Front 8

Pevailing Westerlies

Back 8

Prevailing winds that blow from west to east between 30 & 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres.

Front 9

At about 30 degrees noth and 30 degrees soth latitude, sinking air created and area of high pressure. The winds at these locations are weak.

Back 9

Horse latitudes.

Front 10

Trade winds

Back 10

In both hemisperes, the winds that blow from 30 degrees latitude almost to the equator.

Front 11

% of each gas in our atmosphere.

Back 11

Nitrogen- 78%
Oxygen- 21%
remaining- 1%

Front 12

Land breeze

Back 12

Wind blows from land out to sea during daylight hours.

Front 13

Sea Breeze

Back 13

Wind blow from sea to land during nightime hours.

Front 14

Ozone layer

Back 14

Stops uv rays from reaching earths surface.

Front 15

Global warming

Back 15

a gradual increase in average global temperature

Front 16

Greenhouse effect

Back 16

when gases in the atmospere absorb thermal energy and radiate it back to the earth.
