Gases in Atmosphere

Function of Atmosphere Trap heat = warm planet Protect us from incoming UV, x-ray, cosmic radiation Without gases  no warming  no life

Layers of Atmosphere %20Science %20Science Troposphere – closest to surface contains weather and storm events Contains most clouds Stratosphere – steady wind present Commercial jets fly here Contains protective ozone layer ~ good ozone

Mesophere – lower temps Literally means middle sphere Thermosphere – rising temps Gases absorb UV radiation and become very active (KMT) thus increasing temps found here Aurora- lights in dark polar skies produced when charged particles from sun HIT oxygen or nitrogen molecule Satellites found here, important communication zone

Exosphere – this air converges with space

Weather vs. Climate What is wrong with the following statement? Global warming cannot be occurring, we had a very cool summer.

How does a tornado form?

Hurricanes, Cyclones, and Typhoons – OH MY! VIDEO link

How does the sun warm planet Earth? GIANT CONVECTION CURRENT

What is wind? Horizontal movements of air resulting from changes in atm pressure + rotation of Earth Blow from HIGH atm pressure to LOW atm pressure ntal%20Science ntal%20Science

What is the Coriolis Effect? Air/water currents are deflected due to rotation QOYU QOYU vabE&feature=related
