Earth's Atmosphere

Discover Earth's atmospheric layers and pressure with this fun science worksheet!

Layers of the atmosphere Watch the videos and take notes on the NEXT PAGE of your notebook. Use your notes to help you answer the questions below.*When taking notes include the following for each layer:The layer of the atmosphereIt's altitudeDescribe the temperature and how it changes as you go upInclude any phenomenons (anything special to that layer- like what can be found in it) that occur 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 Layers of the atmosphere video #2 Atmosphere ThingLink DRAW AND LABEL this in your notebook include a fact or two about each layer! (You don't have to include all the numbers, just the first, middle and last- label each side of the graph.)Then show it to your teacher to earn the points.Next, 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 Troposphere (3) where you live layer in which weather occurs has the highest air pressure Stratosphere (3) contains the ozone layer protects us from ultraviolet light the lowest portion of this layer has contains the jet stream Mesosphere (2) coldest layer meteors are found here Thermosphere (4) 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 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 increasing 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 outside so your ears pop in order to even the pressure out. What did you think?
