Air Environmental Science
Layers of the Atmosphere • Troposphere • Stratosphere • Mesosphere • Thermosphere
Troposphere • 0-10 km up from the Earth Surface • 20 to -60 degrees C • Plane activity occurs here • Weather/clouds appear in this region • Tallest mountains are seen in this area
Stratosphere • 10-50 km • -60 to 0 degrees C • Ozone layer is within this layer • Supersonic jet planes fly in this region
Mesosphere • 50-80 km • 0 to -90 degrees C • Weather balloons fly in this region
Thermosphere • Up to 400 km • -90 to 60 degrees C • Meteors and Satellites roam this region
Graphing the Atmosphere • Temperature on the x axis (-100- +60) • Km on the y axis (0-400) • Line graph, plot points then connect dots • Label layers
