Category 1 100 layer closest to Earth’s surface. Contains three fourths of the matter in Earth’s entire atmosphere and nearly all of its clouds and weather.
Category 1 100 troposphere
Category 1 200 above the troposphere Most atmospheric ozone is contained here Absorbs much of the Sun’s ultraviolet radiation
Category 1 200 Stratosphere
Category 1 300 above the stratosphere Contains little ozone, much less heat is absorbed Lowest temperatures in the atmosphere
Category 1 300 Mesosphere
Category 1 400 Filters out harmful X rays and gamma rays from the Sun.
Category 1 400 Thermosphere
Category 1 500 outer most layer of the atmosphere Extends outward to where space begins and contains few atoms No clear boundary separates the exosphere from space
Category 1 500 Exosphere
Category 2 100 A special scale that forecasts the amount of UV radiation that will reach the Earth’s surface.
Category 2 100 UV Index
Category 2 200 Amount of water vapor in the atmosphere
Category 2 200 humidity
Category 2 300 List the steps of the water cycle
Category 2 300 Evaporation Condensation Precipitation Run off Infiltration Percolation Ground water Transpiration
Category 2 400 The gas phase of water
Category 2 400 Water vapor
Category 2 500 A number used to describe how much protection from ultraviolet rays sunscreen will provide
Category 2 500 Sun Protection Factor
Category 3 100 measures wind speed, indicates the wind speed by how fast an array of cups that catch the wind rotate.
Category 3 100 Anemometer
Category 3 200 measures atmospheric pressure
Category 3 200 Barometer
Category 3 300 The process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to leaves.
Category 3 300 transpiration
Category 3 400 The process of water filling the porous spaces of soil
Category 3 400 infiltration
Category 3 500 records the precipitation at a given location at a given time
Category 3 500 Rain gauge
Category 4 100 never-ending cycle in which water circulates between Earth’s surface and the atmosphere through the processes of evaporation, transpiration, precipitation, and condensation.
Category 4 100 Water Cycle
Category 4 200 water that soaks into the ground and collects in the small pieces between bits of rock and soil.
Category 4 200 Groundwater
Category 4 300 water that does not soak into the ground or evaporate but instead flows across Earth’s surface.
Category 4 300 runoff
Category 4 400 cold air mass and warm air mass meet but don’t move very much.
Category 4 400 Stationary Front:
Category 4 500 All the water that is found at Earth’s surface
Category 4 500 Hydrosphere
Category 5 100 primary method by which heat moves through liquids and gases.
Category 5 100 convection
Category 5 200 The transfer of energy by collisions between the atoms and molecules in a material.
Category 5 200 conduction
Category 5 300 matter that has no definite shape. take the shape of whatever container they are in. Particles are very far apart and move freely
Category 5 300 gas
Category 5 400 takes the shape of any container. Particles are farther apart than a solid and move past each other.
Category 5 400 liquid
Category 5 500 matter that has definite size and shape. Particles are close together and move very little.
Category 5 500 solid
