Atmosphere
how much percent of the Earth is freshwater?
70%
What does the atmosphere provide?
Oxygen for eternity
Where do we get most of our energy from?
The sun
What is the troposphere ?
The layer closest to the earths surface it holds most of the atmosphere is mass. It is the region where clouds forms and where all weather happens.
What do these gases include?
Nitrogen and oxygen
What does cryos mean?
Cold
What is the atmosphere?
Layers of protective gas that surrounds the Earth
What is evaporation?
The process by which the sun turned the water into a vapor
What is the thermosphere?
The hottest layer because energy from the sun hits here first. it could take a layer of charge atoms, and molecules known as the ionosphere
What is the atmosphere made of?
Gasses and aerosols
What is polar ice?
Ice sheets that cover the north and south poles
What is the atmosphere protecting us from?
Harmful radiation from the sun
Meteors that fall towards earth
keeping earth warm by the greenhouse effect
What is precipitation?
When water falls onto earth
What is the mesosphere?
Is the coldest layer of the atmosphere.at its outer reaches, called the meso pause,temperature average -90 Celsius meters burned up in this layer creating shooting stars
What are Aerosols ?
solid particles, such as salt evaporated from oceans and pollution
Why is the cryosphere necessary?
To keep the earth cold by reflecting the sun energy back into the atmosphere
How does the atmosphere exist?
Gravity keeps close to earth
The atmosphere changes over millions of years and continues to change even today
what is it when water soaks deeper into the ground water by a gravitational pull?
Percolation
What is the exosphere?
The ex fear is the outer most layer. It is extremely thin. It does not have a specific outer limit atoms and molecules escaped into space from this region.
What is carbon dioxide?
Greenhouse gas, that traps heat from the sun and warms the earth
Why is the cryosphere so important?
It prevents the earth from getting too warm
it is vital for the living organisms that depend on it
What are 4 things in the atmosphere??
Nitrogen
Argon
Oxygen
carbon dioxide
what is surface runoff?
When water doesn’t soak into the ground, but flows on a path to a river
what is the stratosphere?
Contains the ozone layer that absorbs ultraviolet raise from the sun. this heats the stratosphere protects us
