The Atmosphere: Layers in the Atmosphere

The video explains how breathing is affected by elevation due to differences in atmospheric oxygen levels. It describes the layers of the atmosphere, which are defined by temperature variations, and how gravity holds these layers to Earth. The video also discusses how air pressure decreases with altitude and the role of temperature in defining atmospheric layers.

What is the primary reason breathing is more difficult at higher elevations?

How does gravity affect the layers of the atmosphere?

What happens to air pressure as you go higher up in the atmosphere?

Explain how temperature plays a role in differentiating the layers of the atmosphere.

What are the properties of different layers of the atmosphere that affect temperature?
