Interaction in the atmosphere

• Humidity - refers to the amount of water vapor in the air.
• Actually, the water vapor in the air varies not only from place to place but also from time to time
• Troposphere - is the bottom 16 to 18 km layer of the atmosphere where wind cloud and water vapor are found
• Stratosphere - above the troposphere in this region the air grows warmer although not uniformly as one goes higher to around 47 km above sea level.
• Mesosphere - this is when the meteors fall down above the stratos this region gets colder
• Thermosphere - above mesosphere up around 1,000 kilometers above sea level in there mesosphere
• Homosphere - is the bottom 90 km of the atmosphere where there is a continous movement air masses.
• Homosphere derifed from the prefix word homo (meaning the same)
• Hetetrosphere - The outer portion of the atmosphere where no mixing of gases takes place is the heterosphere.
• ozone layer is called stratospheric zone
• Ionosphere - is the region of the atmosphere that is suffciently ionized by solar ultraviolet radiation
• There are two layers in the atmosphere based on the distribution of the very reactive form oxygen called ozone and electrically charged particles called ions
• These atoms and molecules from fascinating called auroras
• ionosphere form layerd to simply as D,E and F layers.
• Hydrocarbons - are compound consisting of carbon and hydrogen
• nitrogen oxides are examples are nitrogen monoxide
• CO - Carbon monoxide
• SO2 - sulfur dioxide
• CO - mostly comes from trafic SO2 - comes from industries
• Particulates - are tiny bits of solid matter
• The ozone near at the earth surface is called ground level ozone
• CFCs - chloro- fluorocar-bons
• Air pollutants - are tiny harmful gases
• Greenhouse is simply a building with glassw wall and roof
• why do you think a phenomenom described in this paragraph called green house effect
• concentration of ozone are refferd to as "ozone holes"
• Prevailing winds - These are the presistent winds
• The name "Trade winds" came from the fact they were most useful for sailboats
• Northeast moonsoon ( amihan in filipino) southwest moonsoon ( habagat in filipino )
• ITCZ - intertropical covergence zone
• The wind blowing from sea is called sea breeze
• the wind blowing on land is called land breeze
• Change in diffrent localities these are called local winds
• ITCZ - changes position throughout the year
• The wind blow from the center of the eye
• PAR - Philippine area of resposibility
• Tropical depression - with wind speed 63 kilometers
• Tropical strom with 63 to 118 kilometers
• typhoon more than 118 kilometers
