PPT-Lesson6b Atmosphere

Weather patterns on the Planets Figuring out weather patterns Here in Kentucky we are moving about 700 MPH due to the Earths rotation on its axis Which direction is the Earth turning Here in Kentucky we are moving about 700 MPH due to the Earths rotation on its axis. Controlled atmosphere storage refers to the constant monitoring an d adjustment of the CO and O levels within gas tight stores or containers The gas mixture will constantly change due to metabolic activity of the respiring fruits and vegetables in t Key Terms. Atmosphere. – a thin envelope of gases that encircles the earth and other particles (aerosols). Weather. – the state of the atmosphere at a specific place and time. Meteorology. – the study of the atmosphere and the processes that cause weather. Essential Points. Heat, Temperature and Temperature Scales. The Electromagnetic Spectrum. Composition of the Atmosphere. Layers in the atmosphere are defined by temperature profiles. How pressure varies in the atmosphere. And its effects on our planet Earth. What is the Atmosphere. ?. The . envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet. .. Earth’s atmosphere consists of 5 major layers. Troposphere. Stratosphere. NC Essential Standard:. Compare the composition, properties, and structure of Earth’s atmosphere to include: mixtures of gases and differences in temperatures and pressure within layers.. There are . and the Impact on Living Things. Earth’s Atmosphere. The gases that surround Earth (and other planets) make up the atmosphere. These gases are like an envelope that protects us from the radiation that is caused by the sun’s . E4.p2X-A,F, I. Characteristics of the Atmosphere. Composition of the Atmosphere. Atmosphere. -mixture of gases around the Earth. 78% Nitrogen-(released from decay/eruptions). 21% Oxygen. 1% Other- (Carbon Dioxide, Argon). One out five . NASA’s Discovery-class missions for Phase A studies.. A . 63. minute descent to study chemical and isotopic composition of Venus atmosphere.. First. U.S. entry probe to target Venus atmosphere in . isopycnic. grids. Rainer Bleck, Shan Sun, . Haiqin. Li, Stan Benjamin. NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory. Boulder, Colorado. April 2016. Design . goals. :. (some reached, some pending). Global domain. Objectives. Describe the composition of Earth’s atmosphere.. Explain why air pressure changes with altitude.. Explain how air temperature changes with atmospheric composition.. Describe the layers of the atmosphere.. Weather. Whether the weather be fine,. Or whether the weather be not,. Whether the weather be cold,. Or whether the weather be hot,. We'll whether the weather. Whatever the weather. Whether we like it or not. Fast . vs. Slow Carbon Cycles. There’s a “Fast” cycle, and a “Slow” cycle. Fast Carbon Cycle. – rapid interchange between . surface ocean. , atmosphere, and top layer of soil and biosphere. Time scales of days to ~decade.. How does the atmosphere support life?. The atmosphere allows us to breathe. Many different types of organisms need oxygen to perform life processes. Plants require carbon dioxide to undergo photosynthesis. . ATMOSPHERE Composition of the Atmosphere The atmosphere is comprised of a variety of gases: Major Constituents (99%): Nitrogen (N): 78% Oxygen (O 2 ): 21% Trace Constituents: Other: 1%
