Living things and the areas of Earth where they are found

• atmosphere

• geosphere

• biosphere

• mesosphere

The measure of the force with which air molecules push on an area of a surface

• Air Pressure

• Altitude

• barometer

• Coriolis effect

Uppermost layer of the atmosphere

• thermal energy

• thermosphere

• ozone layer

The layer of the atmosphere between the thermosphere and stratosphere. In this layer, the temperature decreases as altitude increases.

• heat

• geosphere

• mesosphere

This layer of the atmosphere lies between the mesosphere and troposphere. In this layer, temperatures generally increase as altitude increases.

• evaporation

• cryosphere

• stratosphere
