To answer these questions, let's go through the process step by step:
1. Which of the following layers of the atmosphere is closest to space?
First, let's understand the layers of the atmosphere. The atmosphere is divided into five main layers: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. The layer closest to space is the exosphere.
2. A barometer measures?
To find out what a barometer measures, we can break down the word. "Baro" refers to pressure, and "meter" refers to measurement. Therefore, a barometer is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure.
3. The atmosphere contains tiny solid particles called what?
To determine what the atmosphere's tiny solid particles are called, we need to know about atmospheric composition. These solid particles are known as aerosols.
4. The process by which the atmosphere slows Earth's loss of heat to space is called the..?
To understand the process by which the atmosphere slows Earth's loss of heat to space, we need to know about the greenhouse effect. The process is called the greenhouse effect.
5. Almost all of the water and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is in the what?
To determine where most of the water and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is found, we need to understand the distribution. The majority of the water and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is found in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere.
6. During one part of the nitrogen cycle, nitrogen is removed from the air mainly by nitrogen-fixing what?
To identify what removes nitrogen from the air during the nitrogen cycle, we need to understand nitrogen fixation. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria, found in the soil or on the roots of plants, convert nitrogen gas from the air into a form that can be used by organisms.
7. A gentle wind that covers less than 100 km is called what?
To determine what a gentle wind covering less than 100 km is called, we can refer to wind speed classifications. Such a wind is known as a breeze.
8. Energy as heat can be transferred within the atmosphere in three ways-radiation, conduction, and _____________.
To fill in the missing term for heat transfer within the atmosphere, we need to review the methods. The third method is convection.
9. Which of the following layers of the atmosphere is closest to the ground?
Finally, to identify the layer of the atmosphere closest to the ground, we need to recall the layering sequence. The layer closest to the ground is the troposphere, where most weather phenomena occur.
I hope this step-by-step process helped you answer your atmosphere homework questions!
