Oxygen in this form is found of the Stratosphere and is like earth's sunglasses.
Ozone
What powers the earths weather?
Energy from the Sun
Because the earth is a sphere, it does not travel at the same speed. This causes wind to spin in different directions.

Carbon
Which layer is also part phases into space.
Exosphere
Layer of the atmosphere contains most of the gases on earth and I live in.
What is the Troposphere

Nitrogenase
Why is the Atmosphere important?
Contains oxygen
Traps heat
Protects us from the suns uv rays
Traps air
traps water
How do air masses flow?
From areas of high pressure (cold) to area of low pressure (warm)
Direction of a storm in northern hemisphere
Counterclockwise
The reason the tilt of the earth causes the change of seasons.
The tilt of earth causes the sun's focus to change every 1/4 of the year.
