re

3.Mesosphere

4.Stratosphere

5.Troposphere

Label the different Layers of the atmosphere given in the picture above.

Answer the following questions:

1. Describe what happens to the temperature from the Stratosphere to the Mesosphere.
In the stratosphere, temperature generally increases as altitude increases due to the increasing absorption of ultraviolet
radiation by the ozone layer. In the mesosphere, temperature decreases as altitude increases, to as low as −93°C.

2. In which layer would you find a meteor?

Most meteors occur in Earth's mesosphere, about 50-80 kilometers (31-50 miles) above the Earth's surface

3. As the altitude increases, what happens to the pressure?

As altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure is low

4. In terms of temperature and pressure, what can you say about the troposphere?
The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. Most of the mass (about 75-80%) of the atmosphere is in the
troposphere. Most types of clouds are found in the troposphere, and almost all weather occurs within this layer. ... The bottom of

the troposphere is at Earth's surface.

5. What would happen if our atmosphere consisted of pure oxygen?
If we only had oxygen in our atmosphere, our fires would become massive. What used to be a small campfire, would
now be a fiery explosion. So if you could breathe when there was only oxygen, the giant insects and the Earth burning all
around you would make life pretty tough–even impossible

6. What is special about nitrogen, and what is its main function in the atmosphere?
It is a component of all proteins and can be found in all living organisms. Nitrogen in theatmosphere. The molecules
ofnitrogen in the atmosphere can become usable for living things when they are broken apart during lightning strikes
or fires, by certain types of bacteria, or by bacteria associated with bean plants

7. Why are gasses important to the living things?

Gas exchange is important because it provides oxygen to the cells of living organisms so that they can obtain energy
from organic molecules. The process of gas exchange also removes carbon dioxide from the bloodstream, which would
become toxic if it were to build up.
