    • 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.
