|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| atmosphere - early makeup | -made by erupting volcanoes; nitrogen, CO2, little O2; 2 billion yrs ago-life in oceans=O2,deep enough in H2O until O3 made
🗑
|
||||
| atmosphere - current makeup | nitrogen=78%, oxygen=21%, 1%=argon(0.93)+carbon dioxide (0.03); trace gases= neon, krypton, methane, helium, xenon, ozone; water vapor=4%
🗑
|
||||
| solids and liquids in atmosphere | small solids= dust, salt, pollen; liquid droplets and solids from volcanoes etc.
🗑
|
||||
| pressure | force exerted on an area; gravity pulls molecules above; molecules close to surface=lots of pressure; mountains=higher=less O2=hard to breath; jets in stratosphere=need pressurized cabins
🗑
|
||||
| troposphere | ~10km thick, densest layer,8km at poles, 16km at equator; 99% water vapor+75% gases; has weather+ small planes; steepest air pressure drop; temp decreases 6.5 degrees=up per km,land warms air
🗑
|
||||
| stratosphere | ~40km thick,jets, weather balloons; has ozone layer=blocks UV rays + gives energy to molecules
🗑
|
||||
| mesosphere | ~35km thick, meteors burn; temp decrease; has part of ionosphere=reflects AM radio waves at night - Sun=interacts w/ waves=waves aborbed
🗑
|
||||
| thermosphere | ~415km thick (goes to 500km); warm+thick; few molecules, but sun energy
🗑
|
||||
| exosphere | very few molecules; shuttle orbits - need rocket thrust to move-wings=useless
🗑
|
||||
| ozone in atmosphere | blocks most of UV from Sun
🗑
|
||||
| chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) | from aerosols, fridges, A/C's = destroy ozone; UV breaks CFC, Cl then breaks O3, leaving O2; 1 chlorine atom destroys 100,000 ozone molecules
🗑
|
||||
| ozone hole over Antarctica | 70% ozone lost by 1980's; Montreal Protocol 1987: 16 countries but now 190+ ban CFC's; use EPA certified technicians
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
