PPT-The Atmosphere The Air Around You

Weather condition of Earths atmosphere at a particular time and place Atmosphere the envelope of gases that surrounds the planet Earths atmosphere N most abundant gas 75 of air we . 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. Sunrise . from space over the South China Sea. An astronaut would see something like this; clearly defined bands of color through the atmosphere as the sun rises. High-peaking cumulus clouds, topping out in anvil-head cirrus can be seen as black shadows against the sunlit horizon. The brightness of the colors in the atmosphere in this photograph is due to the amount of dust in the atmosphere. More dust is found in near the equator. There are various sources for such upper level dust. Many dust storms in Africa and ash clouds from major volcanic eruptions are two reasons. . CHAPTER. Charging Toward Cleaner Air in London. More than 4000 people in London died during a “killer smog” event in 1952.. In 2003, London started charging a fee to people who drove into the city during the week.. The ocean/layer of gas that surrounds the Earth. It is composed of 78% Nitrogen and 21% Oxygen. The other 1 % is a mixture of other gasses. We depend on this balance of gas for our survival. When it is out of balance, we have problems..
