Our Atmosphere
The gas that makes up 20.9% of our atmosphere, which we breathe
O2
The layer of our atmosphere we humans (primarily) reside in
Troposphere
This "Effect" keeps our planet from existing in a perpetual ice age
The Greenhouse Effect
Pollutants that are emitted directly into the atmosphere
Primary Pollutants
This scale from 0 - 500 measures the amount of pollutants in our air
AQI
The most abundant gas (78%) in our atmosphere
N2
The layer that satellites and spaceships reside in
Exosphere
This is what we call the Greenhouse Effect, when it is disrupted by human processes
Human-Enhanced OR Enhanced Greenhouse Effect
Pollutants that form through chemical reactions with atmospheric components such as sunlight
Secondary Pollutants
This pollutant is no longer used in gasoline for cars or paint
Pb
A common greenhouse gas that makes up 0.037% of our atmosphere
CO2
The layer that is a little too high for passenger planes, but can sustain weather balloons
Stratosphere
The most common human-enhanced greenhouse gas
CO2
This colorless, odorless, gas is created via incomplete combustion
CO
This reddish-brown gas contributes to acid rain
NO2
Outside of CO2 and CH4, this abundant greenhouse gas helps Earth's surface retain heat
H2O(g)
The layer we see most meteors burning up in
Mesosphere
The most common greenhouse gas
This pollutant is formed when VOCs react with sunlight, particularly during the summer
O3
SO2
The gas that makes up 0.00011% of our atmosphere (Hint: Superman)
Kr
Thermosphere
The full name of the greenhouse gas: CH4
Methane
This environmental issue occurs when there is a build-up of O3
One of the chemical products that creates acid rain (need to say the chemical formula)
H2SO4 OR HNO3
