1 Atmosphere Atmosphere – Earth’s air, which is made up of a thick layer of gases, solids, and liquids. Troposphere – layer of Earth’s atmosphere that is closest to the ground, contains 99% of the water vapor and 75% of gases Ionosphere – Layer of electrically charged particles in the thermosphere that absorbs AM radio waves. Ozone Layer – Layer of the atmosphere that contains a high layer of Ozone. Ultraviolent radiation – a type of energy that comes from the Sun, can damage skin and cause cancer. Chlorofluorocarbon – chemicals used in refrigerators, air conditioners, and aerosol sprays that can damage the Ozone.

2 Atmosphere Radiation – energy transferred by waves or rays.
Conduction – transfer of energy when molecules bump in to each other. Convection – transfer of heat by the flow of material. Hydrosphere – all the water on Earth’s surface Condensation – process in which water vapor changes to a liquid.

3 Atmosphere Coriolis effect – causes moving air and water to turn left in the southern hemisphere, and turn right in the northern hemisphere. Jet stream – narrow belt of strong winds that blow near the top of the troposphere. Sea Breeze – movement of air from sea to land during the day when cooler air above the water moves over the land. Land Breeze – movement of air from land to sea at night, created when cooler air from the land forces warmer air over the sea up.

It reaches it lowest point in October and begins to increase. By December the Ozone Hole disappears.
