Earth's AtmospherE

Discover Earth's atmosphere! Learn about each layer, from the troposphere to the exosphere, and their unique characteristics.

Layers of the atmosphere Watch the videos and complete your notes to help you answer the questions below.*When taking notes make sure you have the following for each layer:Layer of the atmosphereIt's altitudeDescribe the temperature and how it changes as you go upInclude any phenomenons (anything special to that layer) that occur Layers of the atmosphere video #2 Atmospheric layer match Match the level of the atmosphere with the correct label In between the exosphere and the mesosphere layers Thermosphere 3rd layer (from bottom to top) Mesosphere 2nd layer (from bottom to top) Stratosphere lowest layer Troposphere Outermost region Exosphere It grows and shrinks depending on the energy it absorbs from the Sun. Ionosphere Atmosphere ThingLink Use the infographic to answer the questions below Which layer interacts with the particles from the sun creating Auroras? troposphere thermosphere stratosphere mesopshere ionosphere Based on the graph, which layer presents the lowest temperature? troposphere thermosphere stratosphere mesopshere ionosphere Which layer presents the highest temperatures? troposphere thermosphere stratosphere mesopshere ionosphere Weather occurs in which of the following layers? ionosphere stratosphere troposphere mesosphere In which two layers does the temperature decrease as the altitude increases? troposphere stratosphere mesosphere Thermosphere Which feature is found in stratosphere? weather meteors ozone layer satellites Decommissioned Products Click on "Layers of the Atmosphere Virtual Lab" to access the link and use the virtual lab to assist sorting the phrases into the correct category below Layers of the Atmosphere Virtual Lab Troposphere where you live layer in which weather occurs has the highest air pressure Stratosphere contains the ozone layer protects us from ultraviolet light the lowest portion of this layer contains the jet stream Mesosphere coldest layer meteors burn up in this sphere Thermosphere hottest layer contains space shuttles Exosphere outermost layer gases escape to the space from here it separates the rest of the atmosphere from outer space. Ionosphere auroras borealis (northern lights) can be observed is the most dynamic and chaning layer, overlaping other layers Atmospheric Pressure Watch the video and take notes to help you answer questions on atmospheric pressure What is the average air pressure? 100 lbs 50 lbs 100 lb 50 lb Which best depicts the air molecules in the thermosphere? particles kind of close to one another particles tightly packed together particles very spread out Choose the correct word to correctly complete the paragraph. When increase your altitude, the air pressure decreases. That means that the air outside your body is less than what is inside your body. As you get higher, the pressure in your body is stronger than what is out side so your ears pop in order to even the pressure out. Label the layers of the atmosphere. Check your spelling!! And don't include the Ionosphere. troposphere stratosphere mesosphere thermosphere exosphere
