Atmosphere

4. the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves
6. the layer of the atmosphere that is above the troposphere and in which temperature increases as altitude increases
9. the uppermost layer of the atmosphere, in which temperature increases as altitude increases
11. protects life on earth by absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation
12. the movement of air caused by differences in air pressure
13. a mixture of gases that surrounds a planet or moon
14. At night the land cools quickly and the ocean has warmed (water takes longer to heat but holds heat longer). The warm air rises (Low Pressure) above the ocean and the cooler air over the land (High Pressure) moves in to take its place. High to Low - Air from the land rushes towards the sea.
16. the transfer of energy as heat through a material
18. energy transfer through touch

1. a gradual increase in average global temperature
2. During the day the land heats faster than the ocean water. High pressure forms over the ocean due to the cooler air and Low pressure forms over the land due to the warming of the air. The warm air rises and the cooler air rushes in to take its place. High pressure to Low pressure. The air moves from the sea to the land.
3. layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and the thermosphere and in which temperature decrease as altitude increases
5. the lowest layer of the atmosphere, in which temperature decreases at a constant rate as altitude increases
7. the contamination of the atmosphere by the introduction of pollutants from human and natural surfaces
8. air circulation produced by the Coriolis Effect and convection cells
10. the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of Earth that occurs when water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other gases absorb and reradiate thermal energy
15. the measure of the force with which air molecules push on a surface
17. the movement of matter due to differences in density, the transfer of energy due to the movement of matter
