THE ATMOSPHERE'S LAYERS

THE ATMOSPHERE'S LAYERS

1. THE ATMOSPHERE IS COMPOSED OF DIFFRENT LAYERS WHICH CARRY OUT SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS, BUILDING UP TYHE ATMOSPHERE'S STRUCTURE

   • The atmosphere protects us from solar radiation regulating temperature, whereas it also contains gases needed for photsynthesis and life and protects us from meteorites.
   • 5 LAYERS
     • THESE FIVE LAYERS ARE CLASIFICATED DEPENDING ON  THEIR TEMERATURE, CHEMICAL COMPOSITION, DENSITY AND MOVEMENT.
     • TROPOSPHERE
       • IT'S THE CLOSEST LAYER TO THE EARTH  IN WHICH WEATHER AND ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENONS TAKE PLACE. ON THE OTHER HAND, IT'S TEMPERATURE VARUIES DEPENDING ON ALTITUDE BECAUSE OF THE WAY SUN RADIATES IT'S RAYS. THE LIMIT PART WHICH DIVIDES THE TROPOSPHERE FROM THE ATMOSPHERE IS CALLED TROPOPAUSA.
     • MESOSPHERE
       • IT'S FOUND FROM 50-80KM  MEDIUM ZONES(MESOPAUSA) FROM THE EARTH'S SURFACE AND IT'S THE COLDEST LAYER. THANKS TO THE MESOSPHERE'S GASES, METEORITES ARE SLOWED DOWN AND FINSH BURNING THEMSELVES BEFORE HITTING THE EARTH.
     • TERMOSPHERE(IONOSPHERE)
       • ATOMSTHIS IS THE LAYER ALSO KNOWN AS "SUPERIOR ATMOSPHERE" WHICH CONTAINS THE IONOSPHRE, AN "ELECTRIC REGION" WHERE NORTHERN LIGHTS TAKE PLACE BECAUSE OF THE IONS AND ELECTRONS CHARGED WITH THE  UV SUNS'S RADIATION.IT CONTAINS HIGH TEMPERATURES BECAUSE OF THE RADIATION IT ABSORBS, HOWEVER, WE WOULDN'T NOTICE IT BECAUSE OF OUR MOLECULES AMOUNT.
     • EXOSPHERE
       • IT'S THE LAST LAYER AND IT'S WHERE SATELLITES ORBIT, CONNECTED TO THE "SOLAR WIND". IT'S AROUND 10000KM HIGH.
     • STRATOSPHERE
       • THE STRATOSPHRE CONTAINS THE OZONE LAYER PROTECTING US FROM SOLAR RADIATION, WHICH CONTAINS GASES BUT NOT SO MUCH WATER VAPOUR . IT'S TEMPERATURE IS HIGHER BECAUSE IT RECEIVES A LOT FROM THE SUN RADIATION, HOWEVER, IT'S HGHT VARIES TOO BECAUSE IT RELIES ON THE DIFFERENT ZONE IT IS.

2. OTHER ELEMENTS ARE

   • WEATHER:
     • IT'S THE ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENONS THAT CAN HAPPEN IN JUST ONE DAY SUCH AS RAIINING, STORMS... MEASURED BY THERMOMETER(TEMPERATURE), RAIN GAUGE(PRECIPITATION) AND BAROMETER(ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE)
   • CLIMATE
     • SPECIFIC FEAUTER OF ONE SPECIFIC PLACE OR ZONE REGISTRATED DURING 15/20 YEARS, AFFECTED BY LATITUDE AND ALTITUDES (TEMPERATURE), RELIEF (AFFECTS TEMPERATURE) AND DISTANCE FROM BODIES OF WATER  LIKE CURRENTS OR COASTAL AREAS WHICH PROVIDE SOFT TEMPERATURES AND CHANGING WARM OR COLD TEMPERATURES.
