4 Characteristics of the Atmosphere
Section 1 Characteristics of the Atmosphere The Composition of the Atmosphere Nitrogen and Oxygen The atmosphere is made up mostly of nitrogen gas. The oxygen you breathe makes up a little more than 20% of the atmosphere.

5 Characteristics of the Atmosphere
Section 1 Characteristics of the Atmosphere Atmospheric Pressure and Temperature As Altitude Increases, Air Pressure Decreases The atmosphere is held around the Earth by gravity. Gravity pulls gas molecules in the atmosphere toward the Earth’s surface, causing air pressure. Atmospheric Composition Affects Air Temperature Air temperature also changes as altitude increases.

14 Energy in the Atmosphere continued
Section 2 Atmospheric Heating Energy in the Atmosphere continued The Greenhouse Effect and Life on Earth The greenhouse effect, shown on the next slide, is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb thermal energy and radiate it back to Earth. The Radiation Balance: Energy In, Energy Out The amount of energy Earth receives and the amount of energy returned to space must be approximately equal. Greenhouse Gases and Global Warming Some scientists think that an increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may be the cause of global warming.

32 Sources of Human-Caused Air Pollution
Section 4 Air Pollution Sources of Human-Caused Air Pollution Industrial Air Pollution Many industrial plants and electric power plants burn fossil fuels, such as coal, to produce energy. Burning some types of coal without pollution controls can release large amounts of air pollution. Indoor Air Pollution Sometimes, the air inside a building can be more polluted than the air outside.

34 Air Pollution Acid Precipitation Section 4
Acid Precipitation and Plants Acid precipitation can cause the acidity of soil to increase. This process, called acidification, changes the balance of a soil’s chemistry and negatively affects plants. The Effects of Acid Precipitation on Forests In some areas of the world, acid precipitation has damaged large areas of forest. Acid Precipitation and Aquatic Ecosystems If acid precipitation increases the acidity of a lake or stream, aquatic plants, fish, and other aquatic organisms may die.

37 Cleaning Up Air Pollution
Section 4 Air Pollution Cleaning Up Air Pollution Controlling Air Pollution from Industry The Clean Air Act requires many industries to use pollution-control devices such as scrubbers. The Allowance Trading System The Allowance Trading System is another initiative to reduce air pollution. In this program, the EPA establishes allowances for the amount of a pollutant that companies can release. Reducing Air Pollution from Vehicles To reduce air pollution from vehicles, the EPA requires car makers to meet a certain standard for vehicle exhaust.
