The number of layers in the atmosphere
5
Definition of the atmosphere
The thick layer of gases that covers the Earth's surface, and it is joined to it by the gravity force
What the ozone layer prevents
It prevents harmful ultraviolet light from reaching the Earth's surface.
The layer characterised by high temperatures of up to 1000°C and above
Thermosphere
The difference between weather and climate
State of the atmosphere in specific place and time
State of the atmosphere over a long period of time
The importance of the atmosphere
It makes life possible on our planet; contains gases essential for living things, filters harmful solar rays, helps regulate the temperature, protects the EWrath from the force of meteorites
Which layer contains ozone
The stratosphere
The coldest layer of the atmosphere with low air density
Mesosphere
What the atmosphere regulates
Our planet's temperature
The highest and lowest layers
Exosphere (highest) Troposphere
The cause of the hole in the ozone layer
The increase in the emission of harmful gases caused by human activity
What occurs in the Troposphere
The main meteorological phenomena (rain, wind and cloud formation) occur in this layer
Name the layers in the atmosphere
Troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere.
The only layer of the atmosphere where living things can breathe
Troposphere
What reaches the Earth's surface because of the hole in the ozone layer
Harmful ultraviolet rays
What happens to gases in the Exosphere
Gases lose their chemical properties and disperse until their composition is similar to that of space.
