Atmospheric Characteristics and Heating Period: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
1. Identify and explain what happens to a marshmallow when it is exposed to less air
pressure in a vacuum chamber.
2. Describe the relationship between air pressure and altitude.
3. Generally, describe what happens to temperatures as altitude increases?

6. The Jacksonville Jaguars (from Florida) travel to Denver, Colorado to play the Broncos next
Sunday. Notice the difference in elevation. How does this effect the density of the air in the city?
Compare them by placing HIGHER DENSITY and LOWER DENSITY in the boxes.
