- 8. Multiple Choice
The Air Pressure and Altitude Rule states: As altitude increases air pressure _________
increases
decreases
stays the same
- 9. Multiple Choice
Since the earth absorbs the sun's heat and then radiates it back, temperature in the troposphere _______ as you go up in altitude and get farther from the earth's surface.
increases (gets hotter)
decreases (gets colder)
stays the same
- 10. Multiple Choice
As altitude increases in the stratosphere temperature ______________. This is because of the Ozone layer holding onto the sun's UV radiation.
stays the same
increases (gets hotter)
decreases (gets colder)
- 11. Multiple Choice

Nitrogen
Oxygen
Argon
Carbon
- 12. Multiple Choice

False
- 13. Multiple Choice

False
True
- 14. Multiple Choice
What is the main factor that separates one layer of the atmosphere from another?
changes in altitude
changes in weather
changes in air pressure
changes in temperature
- 15. Multiple Choice
Why are scientists worried about the Ozone Layer?
Because it is preventing some of our satellites from reaching the thermosphere.
Because it's not as pretty as it once was.
Because people are putting things (like burning fossil fuels) into the atmosphere that are causing holes in the ozone layer which will allow more of the sun's radiation to reach the surface of Earth, making Earth warmer than it's ever been.
Because it's growing larger and larger and soon it won't allow any of the sun's heat to reach the Earth and it will then become too cold on Earth to support life.

- 18. Multiple Choice
What is Air Pressure?
Air Pressure is the height above sea level
Air Pressure is the force resulting from the weight of a column of air pushing down on you.
Air Pressure is the layers of gases surrounding the earth.
