Earth's AtmospherE

Discover Earth's atmosphere layers and air pressure. Learn about the troposphere, stratosphere, and more!

Layers of the atmosphere Watch the videos and take notes on the LAST PAGE of your notebook. Use your notes to help you answer the questions below.*When taking notes include 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 highest layer Thermosphere 3rd highest layer Mesosphere 2nd highest layer Stratosphere lowest layer Troposphere 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 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 The ionosphere and exosphere are part of which layer? stratosphere mesosphere thermosphere troposphere 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 has contains the jet stream Mesosphere coldest layer meteors are found here Thermosphere contains the ionosphere contains the exosphere hottest layer contains space shuttles 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. What did you think?
