About The Atmosphere
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
The unit follows the atmosphere from the ground up. Several mind maps set out the composition of the air, with nitrogen, air quality and the importance of the atmosphere. The mind map LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE works through the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere, and notes that most weather happens in the troposphere.
Other resources look at how the atmosphere formed and changed. Examples are The Early Atmosphere, The Evolution of the Atmosphere and The Ozone Hole. Further items cover air pressure, winds, water in the atmosphere and temperature inversions.
Where to start
Begin with a mind map for the big picture. The mind map called The Atmosphere links the air around you, air pressure, layers, energy, heat transfer and winds. Then move to flashcards for the facts.
- Open Composition of air for the main gases and their percentages.
- Use Structure of the Atmosphere to describe each layer and learn a mnemonic for their order.
- Try Heat in the Atmosphere Quiz, which separates solar radiation from infrared radiation.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map, then close it and take a quiz on the same topic. Wrong answers show which branch to reopen. Intro To Weather Practice Test for Mid Term is a harder step, with questions on adiabatic processes and the temperature of a rising parcel of air. One flashcard deck, C1 Revision, sits alongside material that mentions GCSE Chemistry.
Where this unit fits
The Atmosphere sits in the Water, Oceans and Atmosphere strand of Geology and earth sciences. Teachers can pick a map or slide set for a lesson and set a quiz afterwards. Most of the material suits school students, with some for university study.
Choose one resource that matches what you are learning this week, and build your own set of flashcards from it.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map called The Atmosphere. It links the air around you, air pressure, layers, energy, heat transfer and winds, so you see how the topic fits together. Then try the flashcards on the composition of air or the structure of the atmosphere.
What do the mind maps cover?
The mind maps cover the composition of the air, air quality, the layers of the atmosphere, air pressure, winds and water in the atmosphere. Others look at the early atmosphere, how it evolved, the ozone hole and temperature inversions. There are over 180 mind maps in all.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. If you create a free account, your quiz scores are saved and you can make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Which levels and exams do these suit?
Most of the resources suit school students, with a smaller share aimed at university study. One listed flashcard deck, C1 Revision, appears alongside material that mentions GCSE Chemistry. Check each quiz or deck to see whether its wording matches your course.
Is there a quiz on how heat moves in the atmosphere?
Yes. Heat in the Atmosphere Quiz uses fill-in-the-blank questions, such as naming sunlight entering the atmosphere as solar radiation and heat leaving the surface as infrared radiation. Flashcards on solar heating of the Earth are a good companion.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Try searching the other listed formats, as the same topic often appears as a mind map, a deck and a quiz. You can also make your own mind map, flashcards or notes with a free account and fill the gap yourself.
