Module 13 Test Practice :)

Define atmosphere

• The mass of air surrounding a planet

• The process by which certain gases (principally water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane) trap heat that radiates from earth

• The force (weight) applied over a unit of area

• The pressure exerted by the atmosphere on all objects within it

• Energy that is transferred as a consequence of temperature differences

Define greenhouse effect

• The mass of air surrounding a planet

• The process by which certain gases (principally water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane) trap heat that radiates from earth

• The force (weight) applied over a unit of area

• The pressure exerted by the atmosphere on all objects within it

• Energy that is transferred as a consequence of temperature differences
