✓✓✓✓~ hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere
Hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, biosphere, lithosphere
✓✓✓✓~ Water, air, earth, all life, solid earth
What layers make up the atmosphere
✓✓✓✓~ Exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, ozone layer, troposphere
Atmosphere
✓✓✓✓~ the envelope of gases surrounding the earth
All weather occurs in this layer, we cannot survive about 8km
, Temperature at the top of this layer is -60C
Exosphere
✓✓✓✓~ The outer layer of the thermosphere, extending outward into space.
Thermosphere
✓✓✓✓~ The uppermost layer of the atmosphere, in which temperature increases as altitude
increases
Mesosphere
✓✓✓✓~ The strong, lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core
Stratosphere
✓✓✓✓~ 12 to 50 km, Ozone held here, absorbs UV radiation
Troposphere
✓✓✓✓~ 0-17 km above Earth's surface, site of weather, organisms, contains most
atmospheric water vapor. (temperature decreases with increasing altitude, pressure
decreases)
Ozone layer
