Gases are constantly being added to the atmosphere.

The transfer of energy across space and in the atmosphere

The removal or transport of surface material:

Mount Vesuvius is in which country:

The higher the elevation the more air pressure

The atmospheric layer closest to the Earth's surface

This atmospheric layer contains that coldest naturally occurring place on Earth

Waves from ocean storms can erode coastlines

A mountain built from magma that rises from the Earth's interior to the surface:

This is a molecule that is made up of three oxygen atoms

What human activity contributes to greenhouse gases?

The atmospheric layer above the troposphere that extends from 18 km to 50 km

Life would be able to exist on earth without the atmosphere

This is the plastic layer of the Earth that flows very slowly and moves tectonic plates

Plate 2

The solid part of Earth that consists of all rock, soils, and sediments on the Earth surface

The transfer of heat by air currents

The process in which gases trap heat near Earth's surface

Plate 3

this layer makes up less than 1% of the planet's mass.

Earthquakes usually occur:

The atmosphere is composed of 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, and 1% other gasses

Volcanic eruptions can cause which of the following:
