Final Jeopardy 1.Define and describe the lowest two layers of the Earth’s atmosphere. Make a sketch and explain in complete sentences. (Turn in to teacher with your score sheet when you are finished.)

1.What is the stratosphere and the troposphere? The stratosphere contains ozone and protects from harmful ultraviolet rays of the Sun while letting. It is the second closest layer of atmosphere to Earth. The troposphere is the closest layer to earth. It contains most of earth’s waters and greenhouse gasses. Heat transfer and weather occur in the troposphere.
