- Q1The most common gas in the atmosphere is:Carbon DioxideOzoneOxygenNitrogen30s
- Q2Air pressure decreases at higher altitudes becausegravity is stronger higher up.there is less energy from the sun.fewer molecules exist higher upmore gas escapes at higher altitudes.30s
- Q3Which of the following statements about layers in the atmosphere is true of troposphere?It is the least dense layer.It is the warmest layer.It is ducks.Most weather occurs in this layer.30s
- Q4As altitude increases, air temperature...DucksVariesIncreasesDecreases30s
- Q5Temperature differences in each layer of the atmosphere are most directly related tothe amount of ducks in each layer.the pressure of each layer.types of gasses in each layer.how much light is absorbed.30s
- Q6In which layer of the atmosphere is the ozone layer.MesosphereTroposphereStratosphereThermosphere30s
- Q7The transfer of energy through matter or space as electromagnetic waves is calledConductionRadiationConvectionDucks30s
- Q8Which statement about the ionosphere is false?It is part of the thermosphere.Contains charged ions.Is the coldest layerIt absorbs harmful radiation.30s
- Q9The process in which warm air rises and cool air sinks is caused byAbsorptionRadiationConvectionConduction30s
- Q10Which event should increase the greenhouse effect?Levels of atmospheric gasses stay the same.Carbon Dioxide traps reradiated energy.A vast number of trees are planted.Energy escapes into space.30s
