Troposphere
- In this layer, air is denser as the weight of the air above it pushes the air molecules close together.
Troposphere
- Most of the water vapor in the atmosphere is found in this layer
Troposphere
- Clouds and storms occur in this layer.
Tropopause
- boundary between the troposphere and the
startosphere.
Troposphere
- Very little water
vapor
is present in this layer.
Stratosphere
- There are no clouds int he stratosphere.
Stratosphere
- The
ozone
layer
which shields Earth from
harmful
UV
radiation
, is found at the topmost part of the startosphere, which is warm.
Stratosphere
- In this layer, temperature increases with height because one comes closer to the
ozone
layer.
Mesosphere
- In this layer, temperature decreases with height
Mesosphere
- This is the
coldest
ergion
of the atmosphere.
Thermosphere
- This process, in turn, raises the temperature of the air in the
ionosphere.
