#1
Front (Question)

Aerosols

Back (Answer)

Tiny solids in the atmosphere

#2
Front (Question)

Ozone Formula

Back (Answer)

O3

#3
Front (Question)

Ozone depletion’s largest offender is ____

Back (Answer)

CFCs

#4
Front (Question)

Troposphere

Back (Answer)

Lowest layer where weather phenomena occurs. Air “turns over”

#5
Front (Question)

Environmental Lapse Rate

Back (Answer)

The decrease in temperature as your altitude increases

#6
Front (Question)

Tropopause

Back (Answer)

Separates the troposphere from the next layer: the stratosphere

#7
Front (Question)

Stratosphere

Back (Answer)

Extremely hot layer above the tropopause that is identified by the large ozone concentration, causing this layer to be extremely hot.

#8
Front (Question)

Stratopause

Back (Answer)

Separates stratosphere from mesosphere

#9
Front (Question)

Mesosphere

Back (Answer)

Extremely cold layer of atmosphere (-90C).

#10
Front (Question)

Mesopause

Back (Answer)

separates mesosphere from thermosphere

#11
Front (Question)

Thermosphere

Back (Answer)

1000C. No defined upper limit. Although there is so few matter, constant high-energy waves are 1000 C.

#12
Front (Question)

Perihelion

Back (Answer)

January 3rd, when earth is closer to sun

#13
Front (Question)

Aphelion

Back (Answer)

July 4th, when Earth is farther from sun

#19
Front (Question)

what are lines that connect points of the same temperature

Back (Answer)

Isotherms

#20
Front (Question)

Does land heat more rapidly than water?

Back (Answer)

Yes. Water has a higher specific heat

#21

Humidity

Back (Answer)

Amount of water vapor in air

#22
Front (Question)

Saturation

Back (Answer)

maximum amount of water vapor air can hold

#23
Front (Question)

Mixing Ratio

Back (Answer)

Mass of water vapor-laden air compared to mass of dry air (remaining)

#24
Front (Question)

Relative Humidity

Back (Answer)

% of water vapor in the air compared to how much it can hold at that temperature
