- Albedo vs. Absorption

Key Concepts for Chapter 18:
- Layers of the Atmosphere - focus on troposphere and stratosphere
- Where is weather, clouds, ozone layer, meteors, jet stream winds
- Condensation of air = clouds
- Convection currents - transfer to heat and movement - cold air chasing warm air
