mesosphere

How layers of atmosphere determined CORRECT ANSWERS temperature distribution

what keeps atmosphere over earth CORRECT ANSWERS gravity

increase in altitude CORRECT ANSWERS less dense air

altitude increase pressure water effect CORRECT ANSWERS gain in altitude-less
dense air-more room for water vapor

dew point CORRECT ANSWERS temperature when air becomes saturated and can no
longer hold water (temp where water vapor will condense

relative humidity CORRECT ANSWERS percentage of how much water vapor is in the
air compared to how much it can hold before it is saturated

responsible for majority of earths weather CORRECT ANSWERS uneven heating of the
earth

Low Pressure CORRECT ANSWERS associated with bad weather, counter clockwise
air (Trough)

High Pressure CORRECT ANSWERS associated with good weather, clockwise air
(Ridge)

Local conditions that affect wind CORRECT ANSWERS land breeze, sea breeze

jet stream CORRECT ANSWERS narrow current of high altitude air. generally move
west to east can cause turbulence

cold front CORRECT ANSWERS pushes warm air in front upward. can cause bad
weather or wind shifts
