Top 5. The Atmosphere

Ability to flow, especially on the layer closest to the surface. It moves horizontally or vertically

It extends from 80 to 600 km above the surface. Its temperature can reach 1000°C.

It affects the temperature because the air is denser in low zones, thus, retains more heat.

Is the quantity of water vapor per cubic meter of air. 

The temperature decreases as the ... increases

It is the layer that extends from a height of 50 to 80 km approximately. It reaches a temperature of -130°C

It is separated from the troposphere by a thin layer, called the tropopause

The most widely used climate classification is the ... proposed by Vladimir Peter Köppen.

The atmosphere oxidizes substances because of the contained oxygen; this process can be seen in metals and rocks.

Places near the seas have a more stable temperature than those far from them, because oceans act as temperature regulato

It is the most inferior and dense layer, where almost all atmospheric phenomena occur: rains, hurricanes, winds, etc

Is composed of gases, mainly nitrogen (78%), and oxygen (21%).

Spring and summer are examples of:

 It extends from a height of 600 km to an imprecise height of 6,000 km approximately.

It is the physical property of a gas to decrease its volume when pressure rises.

It is the atmosphere’s property by which sun rays cross and heat directly the Earth’s surface

It refers to the quantity of water that falls from the atmosphere, either liquid or solid. 

Is the branch of Geography that studies the physical laws related to the climatic conditions by analyzing the variables

They are located in the north and south poles. They are bordered by the polar circles.

It is the degree of heat in the air at a given moment and place. 

In these zones, solar rays hit vertically the Earth’s surface, causing high temperatures along all the year.

These zones receive the solar rays obliquely and present the four temperate seasons. 

Is transparent, is caused because the nitrogen and oxygen divert the blue color from the solar light

It is the opposite of compressibility that is the gas ability to expand when the pressure decreases.

Those changes that atmosphere experiments like temperature, wind, humidity, and rain.

Clouds reflect some heat back into the space and lessen the temperature below them. 

“Humidity is factor that affects temperature. Humidity is measured with a ________

It is the air movement caused by a difference in pressure. It is expressed in kilometers per hour (km/h)

It is the weight that air has on a given place. It is expressed in millibars (mbar)
