Unit 3

2. Lowest layer of the atmosphere
5. Layer between mesosphere and troposphere
7. Energy The total kinetic energy of particles
9. The transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves
10. The energy that is transferred between objects that are at different temperatures
15. Effect The process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and give off radiation
17. The transfer of energy due to the movement of matter
18. The transfer of energy from one object to another object trough direct contact
19. Winds The movement of air over short distances

1. Mixture of gases that surrounds Earth
3. The uppermost layer of the atmosphere
4. Expansion The increase in volume that results from an increase in temperature
6. A measure of the average kinetic energy of particles
8. Layer between the thermosphere and stratosphere
11. Pressure Measure of the force with which air molecules push on an area of surface
12. Streams Narrow belts of high-speed winds that blow from west to east
13. Effect The apparent curving path due to Earth's rotation
14. The movement if air caused by differences in air pressure
15. Winds Wind systems that occur at or near Earth's surface
16. Layer Area in the stratosphere that absorbs most the solar radiation
