  • The Earth is completely surrounded by "a sea of air" known as the atmosphere.
  • Without the atmosphere life cannot exist on Earth.
  • The atmosphere contains oxygen, the life sustaining gas.
  • From the air, plants get carbon dioxide needed in order to live.
  • The layer of air also protect us from the intense radiation by day and too much loss of heat by night.
  • There is very little oxygen high up in the atmosphere so this is the reason why hikers experience difficulty in breathing when they climb high mountains.
  • The most aboundant gas in the air is Nitrogen consists of 78% of the air in the atmosphere.
  • Oxygen makes up about 21 % of the air
  • Hydrosphere - water ex. Sea, lake
  • Atmosphere - gas ex. Troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere
  • Lithosphere - solid ex. Crust, mantle, and core
  • ITCZ - intertropical convergence zone
  • Mesosphere - have the coldest temperature of the atmosphere.
  • Troposphere - most of the weather occurs.
  • Thermosphere - temperature may reach as 2000 degrees Celsius.
  • Stratosphere - absorb much of the Sun's harmful radiation.
  • Stratosphere - contain most of the ozone layer.
  • Troposphere - closest to Earth surface 10 km
  • Troposphere - temperature just above the ground
  • Troposphere - weather occurs
  • Troposphere - turbulence occurs
  • Stratosphere - 50 km above earth surface
  • Stratosphere - jet aircraft can be seen
  • Troposphere - clouds, mountain, airplane, air balloon.
  • Stratosphere - radiosonde
  • Ozone layer - O3
  • Ozone layer absorbed uv radiation
  • Mesosphere - between 50 km - 80 km
  • Mesosphere - meteors of rock fragments
  • Mesosphere - meteors
  • Thermosphere - hottest
  • Thermosphere - 80 km - 110 km
  • Thermosphere - space shuttles, Aurora borealis and aurora australis
  • Aurora borealis - northern lights
  • Aurora australis - southern lights
  • Exosphere - upper limit of atmosphere
  • Exosphere - merges into space
  • Exosphere - satellites
  • Exosphere - 500km - 1000km
  • The atmosphere is structured in different layers according mainly to variation in temperature.
