Layers of the Atmosphere

Layer of the atmosphere where the ozone layer is located:

• troposphere
• stratosphere
• mesosphere
• thermosphere

Layer of the atmosphere furthest from Earth's surface:

• troposphere
• exosphere
• mesosphere
• stratosphere

Layer of the atmosphere that is the coldest:

• troposphere
• stratosphere
• mesosphere
• thermosphere

Which layer of the atmosphere has the greatest amount of air pressure?

• troposphere
• stratosphere
• mesosphere
• exosphere

Which two gases are found throughout ALL layers of the atmosphere?

• nitrogen and oxygen
• carbon dioxide and water vapor
• argon and nitrogen
• argon and glucose

Layer of the atmosphere that is the warmest:

• troposphere
• stratosphere
• mesosphere
• thermosphere

What gas is the Ozone Layer made from? 

• water vapor
• carbon dioxide
• oxygen
• argon

As altitude increases in the Troposphere, what happens to the air temperature?

• air temperature increases
• temperature decreases
• temperature fluctuates
• temperature rises

What is an important role of the Ozone Layer?

• It protects the mesosphere from the Sun's harmful rays.

• It protects the troposphere from the Sun's harmful rays.

• It prevents floods, hurricanes, and other storms.

• It prevents the thermosphere from becoming too warm.

What is the order of the layers of the atmosphere, starting with the layer closest to Earth's surface?

• Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere

• Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Exosphere, Thermosphere

• Troposphere, Stratosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere, Mesosphere
