Air temperature in the stratosphere layer increases with altitude. Why? The stratosphere gets most of its heat from the Sun. Therefore, its warmer closer to the Sun. The air at the bottom of the stratosphere is cold. The cold air is dense, so it doesnt rise. As a result, there is little mixing of air in this layer.

Water is a transparent common substance that makes up the earth's oceans, lakes, seas, rivers, streams and more. Water is essential for every living thing to replenish and hydrate. The chemical formula for water contains one oxygen atom to two hydrogen atoms. Everything from the earth's crust to the human brain contain great amounts of water. Water on earth is continually being used and then goes through the water cycle to become new and usable again. The water cycle involves evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation and runoff. Even though water does not have any calories or nutritional benefit it is essential to all living forms on earth. Fishing which occurs in salt and fresh type waters yields much food for the world's people. Water even involves exercise for those who like to swim and engage in other sports like water skiing, wakeboarding and so on.

FIGURE 15.6 This graph shows how air pressure de- creases with increasing altitude. the air pressure on the surface of the drink. Because fluid flows from an area of high to low pressure, the drink moves up the straw and into your mouth. When you breathe, a muscle called the diaphragm causes the rib cage and lungs to expand or contract. When they expand, the air in the lungs is under less pressure than the air outside the body, so air flows into the lungs. When the ribs and lungs contract, air in the lungs is under greater pressure than air outside the body, so air flows out of the lungs.

The high and low pressure areas created by the six atmospheric circulation cells also determine in a general way the amount of precipitation a region receives. Rain is common in low pressure regions due to rising air. Air sinking in high pressure areas causes evaporation; these regions are usually dry. These features have a great deal of influence on climate.

Oil is a liquid fossil fuel that is extremely useful because it can be transported easily and can be used in cars and other vehicles. Oil is currently the single largest source of energy in the world.

Most cars have at least four cylinders connected to the crankshaft. Their pistons move up and down in sequence, one after the other. A powerful car may have eight pistons, and some race cars may have even more. The more cylinders a car engine has, the more powerful its engine can be.

A combustion engine is a complex machine that burns fuel to produce thermal energy and then uses the energy to do work. In a car, the engine does the work of providing kinetic energy that turns the wheels. The combustion engine in a car is a type of engine called an internal combustion engine. (Another type of combustion engine is an external combustion engine.)

Solids that change to gases generally first pass through the liquid state. However, sometimes solids change directly to gases and skip the liquid state. The reverse can also occur. Sometimes gases change directly to solids.

Shown in the diagram are the six types of simple machines. A simple machine is a mechanical device that makes work easier. It includes the inclined plane, wedge, lever, wheel and axle, screw and pulley. An inclined plane is a flat surface that is slanted, or inclined, so it can help move objects across distances. A common inclined plane is a ramp used to lift heavy objects in a back of a truck. Instead of using the smooth side of the inclined plane to make work easier, you can also use the pointed edges to do other kinds of work. When you use the edge to push things apart, this movable inclined plane is called a wedge. An ax blade is one example of a wedge. Any tool that pries something loose is a lever. Levers can also lift objects. A lever is an arm that turns against a fulcrum (the point or support on which a lever pivots). Think of the claw end of a hammer that you use to pry nails loose; itÕs a lever. The Wheel and Axle makes work easier by moving objects across distances. The wheel (or round end) turns with the axle (or cylindrical post) causing movement. On a wagon, for example, a container rests on top of the axle to help transport heavy objects. A Screw helps you do work is that it can be easily turned to move itself through a solid space like turning a jar cover to keep it the jar air tight. Instead of an axle, a wheel could also rotate a rope, cord, or belt. This variation of the wheel and axle is the pulley. In a pulley, a cord wraps around a wheel. Instead of an axle, you can use the wheelÕs rotation to raise and lower objects, making work easier. On a flagpole, for example, a rope is attached to a pulley to raise and lower the flag more easily.

Newtons third law of motion is just one of many scientific laws. A scientific law is a statement describing what always happens under certain conditions. Other examples of laws in physical science include: Newtons first law of motion Newtons second law of motion Newtons law of universal gravitation Law of conservation of mass Law of conservation of energy Law of conservation of momentum

Friction is the force that opposes motion between any surfaces that are in contact. There are four types of friction: static, sliding, rolling, and fluid friction. Static, sliding, and rolling friction occur between solid surfaces. Fluid friction occurs in liquids and gases. All four types of friction are described below.

How fast or slow something moves is its speed. Speed determines how far something travels in a given amount of time. The SI unit for speed is meters per second (m/s). Speed may be constant, but often it varies from moment to moment.

An electric circuit consists of at least one closed loop through which electric current can flow. Every circuit has a voltage source such as a battery and a conductor such as metal wire. A circuit may have other parts as well, such as lights and switches. In addition, a circuit may consist of one loop or two loops.

Energy changes form when something happens. But the total amount of energy always stays the same. The Law of Conservation of Energy says that energy cannot be created or destroyed. Scientists observed that energy could change from one form to another. They also observed that the overall amount of energy did not change.
