Unit 10 APES Review

7. Level of albedo that absorbs insolation and heats things up
8. Layer of the atmosphere containing the ozone shield
10. Kind of air that sinks because it is more dense
11. Effect where winds bend north in a clockwise pattern and south counterclockwise
13. Layer of the atmosphere that is the thickest and is where auroras occur
18. Severe weather event that is produced over equators with warm water
19. The protocol created to phase out and ban CFC products
20. Long term weather pattern in an area
21. Solar radiation that heats things up

1. Thin layer of the air, gasses surrounding the earth held there by gravity
2. Layer of the atmosphere where all weather events occur
3. Layer of the atmosphere where O3 gasses are not natural
4. Layer of the atmosphere with enough friction to break up small meteors and has the lowest measurable temperature
5. Protocol made to reduce carbon emissions by standards set in each participating country
6. Kind of air that rises because it is less dense
9. Layer of the atmosphere that is debated by scientists and is very thin
12. Acronym for the intergovernmental panel on climate change
14. Level of albedo that causes surfaces to reflect insolation
15. The shield of this absorbs and protects us from UV radiation
16. Severe weather event that occurs with warm enough air and high wind speeds
17. Short term local variations of temperature and precipitation
