Identify the four major layers of the atmosphere depicted in the accompanying
illustration.
1.troposphere
2.estratosfera
3.mesosfera
4.termosfera

2.Which layer of the atmosphere contains most of the earth's weather?

Trposphere

3.Describe the atmospheric convection process.


El proceso de circulación del Aire
El aire caliente que sube y el aire frio que baja.

4.What is the primary cause of changing altimeter settings between weather


reporting points?

la diferencia de calentamiento sobre la superficie

5.Closely spaced isobars on a weather map is an indicator of light surface


winds.
False, por la diferencia de viento , es viento mas fuerte

6.What three factors affect the amount of deflection caused by Coriolis force?
Debido al movimiento de la tierra un objeto en movimiento va a tener una trayectoria
curvada
las factores son : distancia , posicion ,velocidad

7.Describe how factional force causes wind to shift near the earth's surface.
el viento frio tiene una desviacion hacia la derecha y por el efecto coriolis es
empujado hacia abajo .
La superficie de la Tierra ejerce una fricción sobre el aire que sopla justo encima de
ella.
