PRESENTATION OUTLINE
CONDUCTION
THE TRANSFER OF ENERGY WHEN MOLECULES BUMP INTO EACH OTHER.
RADIATION
ENERGY TRANSFERED IN THE FORM OF RAYS OR WAVES.
CONVECTION
THE TRANSFER OF HEAT BY THE FLOW OF MATERIAL.
TEMPERATURES VARRYING AT DIFFERENT LATITUDES
SOME LAYERS CONTAIN GAS THAT ABSORB THE SUNS ENERGY EASIER.

GLOBAL WINDS
JETSTREAM
BLOW NEAR TOP OF TROPOSPHERE, HELPS MOVE STORMS ACROSS COUNTRY, SAVES TIME AND MONEY FOR PILOTS
WESTERLIES
IN THE UNITED STATES THEY MOVE WEATHER SYSTEMS.
DOLDRUMS
WINDLESS, RAINY ZONE NEAR EQUATOR
TRADE WINDS
CREATE STEADY WINDS THAT BLOW IN TROPICAL REGIONS
POLAR EASTERLIES
N. POLE WINDS BLOW FROM NE - SW. S. POLE WINDS BLOW FROM SE - NW
LOCAL WINDS
SEA BREEZE
DURING DAY, WIND BLOWS FROM SEA TO LAND
LAND BREEZE
DURING NIGHT, MOVEMENT OF AIR FROM LAND TO WATER
CORIOLIS EFFECT
ROTATION CAUSES AIR AND WATER TO TURN RIGHT NORTH AND LEFT SOUTH
LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE
TROPOSPHERE
LOWEST LAYER, WE LIVE HERE
IONOSPHERE
ELECTRICALLY CHARGED PARTICLES
STRATOSPHERE
OZONE LAYER
MESOSPHERE
SHOOTING STAR, METOR
OZONE LAYER
FOUND IN STRATOSPHERE, PROTECT US FROM UV RAYS
WATER CYCLE
WATER EVAPORATES CONDENSES AND THEN PRECIPITATES BACK INTO THE EARTH
GASES IN AIR
NITROGEN 78%, OXYGEN 21%, WATER VAPOR4%, OTHER 1%
DENSITY OF WARM AIR AND COLD AIR
WARM AIR IS LESS DENSE THAN COLD AIR
