Earths Atmosphere

Cold winds that blow from the east to the west near the north pole and the south pole

• trade winds

• polar easterlies

• sea breeze

• land breeze

Steady winds that flow from east to west between 30 degrees north latitude and 30 degrees south latitude.

• ionosphere

• wind

• jet stream

• trade winds

Steady winds that flow from west to east between latitudes 30 degrees north and 60 degrees north, and 30 degrees south to 30 degrees and 60 degrees south

• polar easterlies

• Coriolis effect

• westerlies

• atmosphere

can damage eyes ,too much exposure can cause skin damage resulting in skin cancer.

• ultraviolet radiation

• convection

• radiation

• condensation

these compounds are harmful to the ozone layer allowing the release of chlorine atoms upon exposure to UV radiation

• radiation

• temperature inversion

• hydrosphere

• chlorofluorocarbons

contains negatively and positively charged ions , has a high concentration of ozone

• ionosphere

• troposphere

• stability

• hydrosphere

a convection current results and the wind blows toward the land

• jet stream

• land breeze

• sea breeze

• conduction

Cooler air above the land moves over the water and rises, movement of air toward the water from the land.

• Coriolis effect

• land breeze

• sea breeze

• wind

Earth's rotation causes moving air and water to appear to turn to the right north of equator and left south of equator

• ozone layer

• condensation

• polar easterlies

• Coriolis effect

Energy in the form of waves or particles from the sun that warms your face

• ionosphere

• UV radiation

• radiation

• conduction
