Layers of the Atmosphere
This layer of the atmosphere begins to burn up incoming meteoroids due to friction
What is the mesosphere?
This is found in the stratosphere and is responsible for absorbing the sun's harmful rays.
What is the ozone layer?
The ozone layer protects us from what type of radiatioin
Ultraviolet
Hydro
Water
All of Earth's weather occurs in this layer of the atmosphere
The troposphere
Plants release this gas into the atmosphere after they do photosynthesis
Oxygen
Atmo
Air
The Sun and moon are in this layer of the atmosphere.
The Sun and moon are NOT in Earth's atmosphere. (Mrs. Lee is at home crying now if you named a layer.)
What does the ozone layer do to the Sun's radiation?
Absorbs it
Bio
Living things
This layer has the hottest temperatures (the molecules are moving very fast) but it would feel cold because so few molecules would be transferring energy to you
thermosphere
What gas compound (found in the stratosphere) protects Earth from ultraviolet radiation?
What is ozone?
This is the layer where man-made satellites orbit
What is the thermosphere (or exosphere)?
How does the atmosphere maintain the Earth's temperature? (think Greenhouse)
Trap the heat energy of the Sun
earth or land
Geosphere
the layer where Aurora (northern lighs) phenomena happens
ionosphere
This would happen if you left your international space station while outside the Earth's atmosphere.
Death
Carbon dioxide is taken in by plants and is used by this organelle to do photosynthesis
the layer where the pilots prefer to fly because it is above the weather
Stratosphere
