PPT-Earth’s Atmosphere & Climate

Change Fig 2 p 312 Chapter Objectives Weather climate amp climate basics Climate change through geologic time Ice ages Present day climate change Table 91 I Weather amp Climate. 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 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. . The Climate is Warming, and Humans are Responsible. The Costs are Astronomical, the Cure Affordable. Individuals can help, Governments and Communities are Essential. Structural Impediments are Enormous. Chapter 3. Earth-Sun Relationship. Chapter 3 – Section 1. Weather . Weather. – the condition of the atmosphere in one place during a limited period of . time. Ex. : looking out the window to see if you need an umbrella means you’re checking the weather. 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. SCIPP Documents. page in the .

Radiation passes through atmosphere unimpeded.. Shortwave and longwave “windows” . 2. absorption. Energy is transferred to absorber; absorber emits energy. 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. . 7.5 Composition and Structure of the Atmosphere What is the composition of Earth’s Atmosphere? SC.6.E.7.9, LA.6.2.2.3 Composition of Earth’s Atmosphere The atmosphere is the protective covering of Earth. It keeps Earth warm and protects it from The atmosphere APES Ms. Tooker 2015 Composition Earth’s atmosphere is composed of seven primary compounds: Nitrogen (N 2 ) 78% Oxygen (O 2 ) 21% Water vapor (H 2 O) 0-4% Carbon dioxide (CO 2 Atmosphere Essential Question: How are we changing our atmosphere? Learning Goals: Be able to identify the layers of the atmosphere. Describe what molecules make up the atmosphere. Atmosphere Atmosphere 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% ! .
