Atmosphere

Temperature in the Atmosphere

Troposphere (20 C or below)

Stratosphere (0 C and below)

Mesosphere (-80 C and below)

Exosphere (over 800 C)

Atmospheric pressure

Molecules pressurized in troposphere.

Gravity brings layers closer

Exosphere is the complete opposite of troposphere

Gravity pulls troposphere closer to the earth. This is the reason why life thrives towards the ground.

Upper layer

Mesosphere (85)

Ionosphere (100)

Radio waves

Electrically charged

"solar charged"

Able to transfer waves when "charged" at night

Light charges radio waves

Waves reflect off of ionosphere

Thermosphere (150)

Exosphere (800)

Lower Layer

Troposphere (10 km)

Contains oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen as well as other gases.

The main air we breathe, play, and sleep in

Stratosphere (50 km)

Ozone layer

Ozone hole

Comes around August and September

Arctic Circle

Ozone is unavailable during this fall

By December circle is gone

Ozone layer is getting thinner.

Blame of global warming goes to CFC's

6. Broken CFC leaves to break up other ozone

5. Oxygen rejoins with oxygen

4. Previously connected oxygen breaks up the CFC and oxygen

3. CFC connects with oxygen atom and abandons other molecules

2. A broken CFC molecule breaks ozone molecule

1. UV breaks up CFC molecule

Ultraviolet rays destroy chlorofluorocarbons

Absorbs ultraviolet radiation

Ozone made up of 3 molecules instead of the normal 2.

Oxygen filled layer ( the point and reason your even alive)
