What is the relative humidity of fully saturated air ?

what is the source of all energy that reaches the earth?

what % of the sun's energy is scattered or reflected back to space?

the process of water changing from a liquid to a gas is

outermost layer of the atmosphere

all forms of water that fall from clouds

Air pressure is greater at the top of a mountain than at lower elevations

ozone in earth's atmosphere is important because it

contains concentrated ozone

the amount of energy the atomosphere absorbs depends in part on its level of

Wind is the movement of air from an area of low pressure to an area of high pressure

As you move upward form earth surface,wind speeds increase because the air meets with less friction from earth’s surface

In the troposphere, as air temperature increases with decreasing altitude, generally air pressure increases, too

solid particles in the atmosphere include salt and

small cloud droplets join to form larger ones

The energy that drives the water cycle comes from the

layer just above the stratosphere

water vapor in the atmosphere is the source of

Most of the earth's atmosphere is composed of

the constant movement of water between the atmosphere and earth's surface is

between mesosphere and exosphere

Air is denser near earth’s surface than high in the atmosphere

low , layered clouds

what % of the sun's energy does earth's surface absorb directly or indirectly?

When cloud droplets combine to form larger drops, they fall to earth as

most weather occurs here

Particles of air in the atmosphere exert pressure on earth’s surface

as water vapor rises in the atmosphere, it cools and changes into liquid cloud droplets in a process called
