b. Visibility
The atmosphere, geosphere and biosphere
a. Cold, Warm
Troposphere; the one closest to Earth's surface
b. Greenhouse gases trap heat makeing the Earth warm enough for life.
The ozone layer reflects harmful UV light so that living things do not burn up.
These 2 things keep the Earth warm and cool enough for life to survive.
b. the equator
c. cold temperatures to a region

Ocean currents are moved by:
a. global winds
b. large ships
c. sea breezes
d. land breezes
Ocean currents distribute heat from warm areas near the
a. poles
b. equator
Because the Earth rotates, it makes winds move in a circualr pattern. What is this effect called?
a. Ozone layer
b. Greenhouse effect
c. Coriolis Effect
d. Land breeze
In what direction would winds travel if the Earth did not spin?
a. in a curved pattern
b. in a straight line
c. move from the north and south pole
Wind moves from high pressure to low pressure areas.
What is the main cause of these pressure differences on the Earth?
a. Heat from the core of the Earth
b. Pressure from the layers of the atmosphere
c. Uneven heating of the Earth
d. From the spinning of the spinning of the Earth.
A measurement of how much water vapor is in the air compared to how much water vapor it can hold.
a. Relative Humidity
b. Precipitation
c. Tempurature
d. Visibility
A lizard sitting on a rock to warm itself is an example of what type of heat transfer?
a. Conduction
b. Convection
d. Radiation
What is the main advantage of having greenhouse gases AND the ozone layer within our atmosphere?
a. Greenhouse gases allow for food to grow. Ozone layer allows us to us air conditioning.
b. Greenhouse gases trap heat to keep the Earth warm. Ozone layer reflects heat so the Earth does not get too hot.
c. Greenhouse gases allow heat to rise up so we have wind. Ozone layer allows for glaciers to exist so we have global wind patterns.

a. Air Pressure
b. Temperature
c. Precipitation
d. Wind direction
Which two spheres are interracting when rain is falling from a cloud?
A cold ocean current is going to bring
a. warm temperatures to a region
b. moderate temperatures to a region
c. cold temperatures to a region
