carbon dioxide, ozone, and others

Atmosphere is made up mostly of what two gasses and what percentage? correct answers
Nitrogen 78% and Oxygen 21%

The Gas Law correct answers P/DT=R

R in the gas law means? correct answers Constant

International Standard Atmosphere correct answers 15 degrees Celsius
29.92 inches of mercury
1013.25 milibars
14.7lbs per square inch of pressure

Layers of the atmosphere correct answers Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere,
Thermosphere

Where most weather occurs? correct answers Trosphere

Top Tropopause at mid latitudes? correct answers 37,000ft MSL

Lower troposphere, pressure decreases by what? correct answers by one inch for each thousand
feet of altitude increase

Why is oxygen recommended at night? correct answers You are more susceptible to Hypoxia at
night due to the eyes increase use of oxygen

What is the lapse rate? correct answers 2 degrees Celsius per 1,000ft increase

Convection is what? correct answers Vertical movements of air

Advection is what? correct answers horizontal movements of air. "Wind"

What is absolute 0? correct answers the temperature where all molecular motion ceases

speed of light? correct answers 186,000 miles per second

Outside air temperature (OAT) (also known as true air temperature (TAT)) is determined by
what? correct answers Correcting the measured or indicated air temperature for compression and
friction heating.

, What is a temperature gradient? correct answers Change of temperature divided by the distance
over which the change occurs

The source of energy for the atmosphere is? correct answers Solar Radiation

Horizontal differences in pressure are related to what? correct answers Wind

On a surface analysis chart, the solid lines that depict sea-level pressure patterns are called?
correct answers Isobars

On a surface analysis chart, close spacing of the isobars indicates? correct answers Strong
pressure gradient

What is pressure altitude? correct answers Altitude indicated when the altimeter is set to 29.92

What does an Altimeter setting display? correct answers True altitude at field elevation

When is indicated altitude lower than true altitude correct answers Warm Days

When do pressure altitude and density altitude have the same value? correct answers
International Standard Atmosphere

Explain Density Altitude. correct answers Pressure altitude corrected for nonstandard
temperature.

Three forces that affect air motion are? correct answers Pressure gradient force
Coriolis force
Frictional force

The pressure gradient force is always directed to the isobars of lower pressure perpendicularly or
parallel? correct answers perpendicularly

In thermal circulations the strong the temperature gradient results in what? correct answers
stronger pressure gradient and stronger wind

When the isobars on the surface analysis chart are close together, the pressure gradient force is
what and winds are what? correct answers Pressure gradient force is large and wind speeds are
strong

Isobaric patterns infer what about wind? correct answers direction

Winds do not blow directly from large scale high pressure areas to low pressure areas because of
what force? correct answers Coriolis force

When is the 500mb constant pressure chart suitable for flight planning? correct answers At
FL180 and above
