Earth’s Atmosphere: Main Ideas 1)What is air pressure? (pg. 234-235) a) The amount of pressure that air molecules are exerting on the molecules below them. Quick Check (pg. 235) -What layer of our atmosphere are 99% of the oxygen and all life found? a) troposphere Page 5 Earth’s Weather: Lesson 1
10
2) How does temperature affect air pressure? (pg. 236-237) a) When temperature increases, air pressure decreases. When air temperature decreases, air pressure increases. Quick Check (pg. 237) -How does altitude affect air pressure? a) The higher the altitude the lower the air pressure. The lower the altitude the higher the air pressure.
