The layer of the atmosphereclosest to the Earth.

What is the Troposphere?

Page 4: Unit One: Air $100 $200 $400 $300 $400 AtmosphereAir PollutantsOzoneClimate Change $300 $200 $400 $200 $100 $500 $100

A yellow pollutant, found asan impurity in coal, that formsa gas when burned that reacts

with water to form acid rain.

What is sulfur?

Page 5: Unit One: Air $100 $200 $400 $300 $400 AtmosphereAir PollutantsOzoneClimate Change $300 $200 $400 $200 $100 $500 $100

These chemicals were the first to be banned for destroying

the stratospheric ozone.

What are chlorofluorocarbons?

Page 6: Unit One: Air $100 $200 $400 $300 $400 AtmosphereAir PollutantsOzoneClimate Change $300 $200 $400 $200 $100 $500 $100

These gases absorb infrared radiation andtrap heat on the Earth.

What are greenhouse gases?

Page 7: Unit One: Air $100 $200 $400 $300 $400 AtmosphereAir PollutantsOzoneClimate Change $300 $200 $400 $200 $100 $500 $100

The unreactive gas that makes up about 79%

by volume of the gases in the atmosphere.

What is nitrogen?

Page 8: Unit One: Air $100 $200 $400 $300 $400 AtmosphereAir PollutantsOzoneClimate Change $300 $200 $400 $200 $100 $500 $100

A vital substance inour stratosphere that

protects us from uv radiation butis a dangerous pollutant

at ground level.

What is ozone?

Page 9: Unit One: Air $100 $200 $400 $300 $400 AtmosphereAir PollutantsOzoneClimate Change $300 $200 $400 $200 $100 $500 $100

This treaty, signed by all UN countries in 1987, is an

agreement to ban the use of certain ozone damaging gases .

What is the Montreal Protocol?

Page 10: Unit One: Air $100 $200 $400 $300 $400 AtmosphereAir PollutantsOzoneClimate Change $300 $200 $400 $200 $100 $500 $100

The concentration of this gas in our atmosphere has been

increasing more rapidly since theindustrial age and is now

measured at about 390 ppmv.

What is carbon dioxide?

Page 11: Unit One: Air $100 $200 $400 $300 $400 AtmosphereAir PollutantsOzoneClimate Change $300 $200 $400 $200 $100 $500 $100

The tilt of the Earth on its axis.

What causes summer and winter (the seasons)?

Page 12: Unit One: Air $100 $200 $400 $300 $400 AtmosphereAir PollutantsOzoneClimate Change $300 $200 $400 $200 $100 $500 $100

A reddish brown gasthat causes smog and acid rain.

What is nitrogen dioxide?

Page 13: Unit One: Air $100 $200 $400 $300 $400 AtmosphereAir PollutantsOzoneClimate Change $300 $200 $400 $200 $100 $500 $100

Although we’ve stoppedproducing CFCs this

will take another 50-60 years.

How long will it take for the ozone layer to repair?

Page 14: Unit One: Air $100 $200 $400 $300 $400 AtmosphereAir PollutantsOzoneClimate Change $300 $200 $400 $200 $100 $500 $100

An effect of increased dissolved CO2 that damages coral reefs.

What is ocean acidification?

Page 15: Unit One: Air $100 $200 $400 $300 $400 AtmosphereAir PollutantsOzoneClimate Change $300 $200 $400 $200 $100 $500 $100

The method of heat transfer where matter absorbs pure energy carried by photons.

What is heat transfer by radiation?

Page 16: Unit One: Air $100 $200 $400 $300 $400 AtmosphereAir PollutantsOzoneClimate Change $300 $200 $400 $200 $100 $500 $100

This legislation resulted insignificant decreases inall major air pollutantsmonitored by the EPA.

What is The Clean Air Act?

Page 17: Unit One: Air $100 $200 $400 $300 $400 AtmosphereAir PollutantsOzoneClimate Change $300 $200 $400 $200 $100 $500 $100

These effects would beexpected in a world

where the ozone layer is severely depleted.

What are increased skin cancer and eye cataracts?

Page 18: Unit One: Air $100 $200 $400 $300 $400 AtmosphereAir PollutantsOzoneClimate Change $300 $200 $400 $200 $100 $500 $100

Carbon dioxide, methane,water, sulfur hexafluoride

What are some important greenhouse gases?

Page 19: Unit One: Air $100 $200 $400 $300 $400 AtmosphereAir PollutantsOzoneClimate Change $300 $200 $400 $200 $100 $500 $100

The reflectivity of a surface.

What is albedo?

Page 20: Unit One: Air $100 $200 $400 $300 $400 AtmosphereAir PollutantsOzoneClimate Change $300 $200 $400 $200 $100 $500 $100

This kind of air pollution is caused by emissions of nitrogen oxides

that react with ultraviolet radiationto form secondary pollutants.

What is photochemical smog?

Page 21: Unit One: Air $100 $200 $400 $300 $400 AtmosphereAir PollutantsOzoneClimate Change $300 $200 $400 $200 $100 $500 $100

These banned substances were once used in refrigerators and

air conditioners.

What are chlorofluorocarbons?

of climate change.

What is the IPCC ?
