Both of these are correct
The correct order of the different layers of the atmosphere, starting from the Earth's surface and moving upward, is..
Stratosphere, Thermosphere, Mesosphere, Troposphere
Mesosphere, Troposphere, Stratosphere, Thermosphere
Thermosphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Troposphere
Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, and Thermosphere
In which layer of the atmosphere does all Weather take place?
troposphere
stratosphere
mesosphere
thermosphere
In which layer would you find the Ozone Layer?
troposphere
mesosphere
stratosphere
thermosphere
The Air Pressure and Altitude Rule states: As altitude increases air pressure _________
increases
decreases
stays the same
Since the earth absorbs the sun's heat and then radiates it back, temperature in the troposphere _______ as you go up in altitude and get farther from the earth's surface.
increases (gets hotter)
decreases (gets colder)
stays the same
As altitude increases in the stratosphere temperature ______________. This is because of the Ozone layer holding onto the sun's UV radiation.
stays the same
increases (gets hotter)
decreases (gets colder)
Air is mostly made from which element?
Nitrogen
Oxygen
Argon
Carbon
True or False: Air Pollution is a mixture of air (nitrogen and oxygen) and smoke, smog, burning fossil fuels and volcanoes.
True
False
True or False: Air Pollution is not a cause of asthma or other breathing problems.
False
True
What is the main factor that separates one layer of the atmosphere from another?
changes in altitude
changes in weather
changes in air pressure
changes in temperature
Why are scientists worried about the Ozone Layer?
Because it is preventing some of our satellites from reaching the thermosphere.
Because it's not as pretty as it once was.
Because people are putting things (like burning fossil fuels) into the atmosphere that are causing holes in the ozone layer which will allow more of the sun's radiation to reach the surface of Earth, making Earth warmer than it's ever been.
Because it's growing larger and larger and soon it won't allow any of the sun's heat to reach the Earth and it will then become too cold on Earth to support life.
What protects Earth from ultraviolet rays from the sun?
ozone layer
mesosphere
air pressure
troposphere
What layer of the atmosphere is closest to outer space?
mesosphere
exosphere
troposphere
stratosphere
