| Question | Answer |
| Amount of water in the air relative to total air volume | Absolute Humidity |
| The Kelvin temperature scale was developed to relate heat energy to the motion of particles. At absolute zero, all particles are at rest. The conversion factor for a reading in Celsius would be to add 273.15 degrees | Absolute Temperature |
| Solution produced that is sensitive to one component of the air, such as nitrogen dioxide or oxygen | Absorbing Solution |
| Gases in the atmosphere that combine with water vapor to form acid rain, acid hail, and/or acid snow. These gases include carbon dioxide, sulfur and nitrogen compounds | Acid Rain/Deposition Gases |
| Rainfall with a pH even or less than 5.6. The general range of acid rain is between 5.6 and 3.6. The lowest pH of rainfall measured was 2.0 | Acid Rain |
| snow with a reduced pH. The acid is released when the snow melts | Acid Snow |
| The lowering of pH in rivers and lakes as a result of acid rain, sleet or snow | Acidification |
| Energy required to initiate a reaction or process | Activation Energy |
| Process or organism that requires oxygen | Aerobic |
| Bar graph used to display the age distribution of individuals within a population the data is sometimes displayed using grouped data or the display is altered to show the distribution of males and females within the population | Age-Structure Diagrams |
| Volume of air that has acquired its characteristics by remaining in an area for an extended period of time | Air Mass |
| Weight of the overlying atoms in the atmosphere above a point | Air Pressure |
