CTS - Aviation Weather Theory Questions and Answers Graded A+ Standard Atmosphere was created by: Averaging conditions to create an idealized atmosphere. The standard temperature lapse rate in the lower layers of the atmosphere is: A decrease of 2° C per 1,000'. If the air temperature is +8°C at an elevation of 1,350 feet MSL and a standard (average) temperature lapse rate exists, what will be the approximate freezing level? 5,350 feet MSL. Moving up in the atmosphere, unsatur...

bond angle the angle (in degrees) defined by lines joining the centers of two atoms to a third atom to which they are chemically bonded valence-shell electron-pair repulsion theory (VSEPR) a model predicting the arrangement of valence electron pairs around a central atom that minimizes their mutual repulsion to produce the lowest energy orientations electron-group geometry the three-dimensional arrangement of bonding pairs and lone pairs of electrons about a central atom ...

the direction from which the wind is blowing - ️️Wind direction the region of the earth that receives most of the sun's heat - ️️The Equator the first layer of the atmosphere in which the vast majority of weather, storms, and temperature differences occur. It extends from sea level up to 20,000 feet over the poles and to 60,000 feet over the equatorial regions and most of the atmosphere is contained in this region - ️️The Troposphere the first known powered aircraft with hu...
