Dry adiabatic lapse rate - ANSWER The air will change 1 degree Cel for every 100 m it rises. Troposphere - ANSWER The lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere and site of all weather on Earth. Usually 17 to 20 km, concentrations 80% of the mass of the atmosphere. Pg 410 Stratosphere - ANSWER Above the Troposphere. Temp increase as elevation increase. Low mixing rates with air, and high ozone concentrations. 19.9% of the mass of the atmosphere. pg 410 Mesosphere - ANSWER Is about 45 km to 8...

November 14, 1994 d. January 1, 1996 - correct answer a. July 1, 1992 What is the ozone layer and why is it important to us on Earth? a. Thin layer of R-22 in the atmosphere that filters UV. b. Protective shield for Earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolent (UV) rays in the stratosphere la...

Which of the following is a variable gas in Earth's Atmosphere? - Answer️️Water Vapor Dust that is floating around your room, would be considered - Answer️️an Aerosol Which statement most accurately describes the stratosphere - Answer️️Ozone in the stratosphere absorbs incoming UC radiation and thus warms Temperature is actually measuring the airs - Answer️️Kinetic Energy Given the four vertical temperatures profiles showing the troposphere and the stratosphere- which is ...

When gas pipe is leaking, what methods would be used by the technician to identify the exact point of leakage? correct answer: Using soap bubble solution What is the graphic tool used by meteorologists to give a succinct view of how wind speed and direction are typically distributed at a particular location correct answer: Wind Rose What is the lowest portion of Earth's atmosphere called: correct answer: troposphere (a height of about 3.7-6.2 miles (6-10 km) What three viruses cause...

ATMO Exam 1 The atmosphere is composed mainly of what two gases? - Nitrogen (78%) & Oxygen (21%) Where is ozone found and why is it important? - Stratosphere: it absorbs UV rays (up to 30km) Troposphere: Near the ground, it acts as a pollutant (10-17km) Which component has the biggest variation from place to place? - Water vapor is the main variable constituent (up to 4%), followed by CO2 A compound is added to the air at a rate of 2 Tg/year, and removed at this same rate. If the...

CTS - Aviation Weather Theory Questions and Answers Graded A+ Standard Atmosphere was created by: Averaging conditions to create an idealized atmosphere. The standard temperature lapse rate in the lower layers of the atmosphere is: A decrease of 2° C per 1,000'. If the air temperature is +8°C at an elevation of 1,350 feet MSL and a standard (average) temperature lapse rate exists, what will be the approximate freezing level? 5,350 feet MSL. Moving up in the atmosphere, unsatur...
