Presentation transcript:

Tropo- means “turning” or “changing”. 3 Facts: the thinnest layer closest to Earth where we live Temperatures get colder as you increase altitude.

Strato- means “layer”. 3 Facts: second layer contains the ozone layer traps heat Temperatures get warmer as you increase altitude.

Ozone is a type of oxygen gas that is helpful in blocking out radiation from the sun but harmful to humans. 3 Facts: part of the stratosphere can be damaged by pollution absorbs ultraviolet radiation Temperatures get warmer as you increase altitude.

Meso- means “middle”. 3 Facts: third layer meteors burn up here has coldest temperatures Temperatures get colder as you increase altitude.

Thermo- means “heat”. 3 Facts: fourth layer warmest temperatures gradually fades into space Temperatures get warmer as you increase altitude.

Iono- means “charged particle”. 3 Facts: part of thermosphere Aurora Borealis found here (Northern Lights) radio signals bounce off of particles Temperatures get warmer as you increase altitude.

Exo- means “outer”. 3 Facts: part of thermosphere satellites orbit Earth gradually fades into space Temperatures get warmer as you increase altitude.
