What is a Storm? What Is Wind? Sun-Earth Day - Space Weather Around the World. Heat Transfer: Conduction, Convection, Radiation. Layers of the Earth's Atmosphere: Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere. Weather, what a phenomenon 2007. Meteorology What a gas?! 1. meteorology-the study of the atmosphere 2. weather is the condition of the air around the Earth 3. Weather happens in the atmosphere! 4. Atmosphere is the whole layer of air that surrounds the Earth, is 400 miles deep. 5. 6. A. troposphere-the lowest layer and where our weather takes place.
B. C. D. Link to layers 7. air is matter, it has mass and takes up space. 8. mass is weight 9. cold air has less energy so molecules are closer together, makes the air denser or thicker, so has more mass 10. warm air has more energy so molecules are moving around more, is less dense, so has less mass 11. air pressure is caused by the mass of the air 12. the sun is the source of all energy for the Earth. 13. 14. energy from the Sun does 3 things, some is reflected back into space, some is absorbed by the atmosphere, but almost half is absorbed by land and water on the Earth’s surface. 17. 20. 24. wind is moving air. 27. 57.
