- Q7Why is the troposphere layer important?Satellites orbit in this layer.Weather Occurs in this layerSpaceships fly in this layer.Ozone is located in this layer.45s6.E.2A.2
- Q8How does the temperature change in the atmosphere?The temperature is hot in all 5 layers.increases as you get higher except for the thermosphere layer.Decreases as you get higher except for the thermosphere layer.Stays the same in all layers.45s6.E.2A.2

- Q10What layer of the atmosphere is the hottest layer?stratosphereThermosphereexospheremesosphere45s6.E.2A.1
- Q11What happens to atmospheric pressure & gravity as you increase altitude in the atmosphere?gravity decreases, pressure increases.Both decreaseBoth increasegravity increases, pressure decreases45s6.E.2A.1
- Q12How do greenhouses gases affect the atmosphere?Keeps earth habitableKeeps earth hotKeeps earth inhabitableKeeps earth cold45s6.E.2A.2
- Q13Explain the relationship between volcanic eruptions and the greenhouse effect.it adds too much oxygen to the atmosphere.It adds too much carbon into the atmosphere.It has no effect on the atmosphere.It puts too much nitrogen into the atmosphere.45s6.E.2A.2
