Variable components of the atmosphere
The document discusses three variable components of air: water vapor, aerosols, and ozone. Water vapor varies between 1-4% and is the source of clouds, precipitation, and latent heat. Aerosols are microscopic particles from natural and human sources that provide surfaces for water vapor to condense on, influencing cloud formation. Ozone is a form of oxygen with three atoms that absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation in the stratosphere between 10-50 km above the surface.

Atmospheric stability
Earth’s atmosphere is a thin blanket of gases and tiny particles — together called air.
Atmosphere is the air surrounding the earth.
The Earth’s atmosphere is a mixture of gases and water vapour, and also of some amount of aerosols (dust, smoke, condensation products of vapor)
It contains life-giving gases like Oxygen for humans and animals and carbon dioxide for plants.
It envelops the earth all round and is held in place by the gravity of the earth.
It helps in stopping the ultraviolet rays harmful to the life and maintains the suitable temperature necessary for life.
Slide share presentation
The document discusses the composition and layers of the atmosphere. It describes the five main layers - troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere - and some of their key characteristics. The troposphere contains weather and is closest to Earth's surface, while the stratosphere contains the ozone layer. The mesosphere is the coldest layer, and the thermosphere is the hottest despite being thin. The main gases in the atmosphere are nitrogen, oxygen, and trace amounts of other gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor. Solar energy is the driving force behind atmospheric circulation and heating of the Earth.
Atmospheric Layers, Air Pressure, Weather Variables
The atmosphere is composed of several thin layers that surround the Earth. It is made up mostly of nitrogen and oxygen and protects life by trapping heat, providing breathable air, and blocking harmful radiation. Weather occurs in the lowest layer, the troposphere, where conditions vary daily. Climate describes average weather conditions over many years. Higher layers include the ozone-containing stratosphere, cooling mesosphere, and very thin thermosphere and exosphere at the top, where temperatures are extremely high despite low air density.
Atmosphere
The document describes the composition and layers of Earth's atmosphere. It begins by outlining the learning objectives which are to describe the atmosphere's composition and layers, explain heat transfer mechanisms, and explain the greenhouse effect. It then provides details on the composition of the atmosphere including the main gases, atmospheric dust, and varying components. The layers of the atmosphere are defined based on temperature and composition changes at different altitudes. Heat transfer through radiation, conduction, and convection is explained. Finally, the greenhouse effect is described as gases in the atmosphere trapping heat from the sun like glass in a greenhouse.
AIR - CLASS 7 GEO Lesson- 4 cbse
The atmosphere is a blanket of air that surrounds the Earth. It is composed primarily of nitrogen and oxygen and provides humans and other living things with air to breathe. The atmosphere also regulates the Earth's temperature and protects the planet from harmful solar radiation. Burning fossil fuels releases large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, disrupting the natural carbon cycle and causing the climate to change through the greenhouse effect.
ppt.pptx
Soil is a natural layer covering the Earth's surface that is formed over long periods of time through the weathering and decomposition of rocks. It serves several important functions such as providing support for plants, storing water, and housing microorganisms. Soil takes a long time to form and is a dynamic layer that is constantly changing.
ATMOSPHERE
The document discusses the composition and layers of the Earth's atmosphere. It notes that the atmosphere contains the air we breathe, helps retain heat, protects from radiation, and regulates climate. The atmosphere does not have a clear boundary with space but gradually thins. It is described as a protective layer sheltering all life. The document then outlines the major layers of the atmosphere from lowest to highest: the troposphere, where weather occurs; the stratosphere containing protective ozone; the mesosphere where meteorites burn up; the thermosphere containing the ionosphere which helps radio transmission; and the exosphere where light gases escape into space.
24 1 the atmosphere
The atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases that surround the Earth. It protects the Earth from harmful rays from the sun while trapping heat, and provides conditions suitable for life. The atmosphere consists of four main layers - the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere - with decreasing air pressure and density at higher altitudes. The stratosphere contains the ozone layer which absorbs UV rays.
EnvironmentalChemistry lecture 3 (422).pdf
This document provides an overview of atmospheric chemistry and air pollution. It discusses the composition and layers of the atmosphere, including the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. Key topics covered include atmospheric temperature profiles, the ozone layer and its role in absorbing UV radiation, common air pollutants and their sources, and atmospheric chemical reactions involving nitrogen dioxide, hydroxyl radicals, and other reactive species. The goal of atmospheric chemistry is to understand problems like acid rain, smog, and global warming by obtaining theoretical insights into atmospheric composition and changes caused by human activities.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

- 4. Nitrogen: Nitrogen (78 per cent) is present in all living organisms and helps in the growth of living beings. Oxygen: It is a colourless and tasteless gas, and is the second most prevalent gas in the atmosphere (21 per cent). Living beings breathe it to live. Oxygen in the form of ozone (O3) is present in the earth’s atmosphere and helps to protect the earth from ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Carbon dioxide: Carbon dioxide exists in the earth’s atmosphere as a colourless and odourless gas. It is produced by all animals, fungi and microorganisms during respiration and is used by plants during photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide helps in creating the greenhouse effect. Without the greenhouse effect, it would be too cold for life to exist on this planet. Water vapour: Water vapour is constantly generated by evaporation and removed from the atmosphere by condensation. Atmospheric water vapour falls on earth as rain, which is very important for our agriculture and is also a source of fresh water.
- 7. Stratosphere The temperature is constant in the lower part but increases in the upper part. It is about 0°C at 50 km. This increase in temperature is because of the absorption of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays by the ozone gas present in this layer. However, the temperature begins to fall again. The stratosphere is almost without clouds because of the extremely low temperatures in the tropopause due to which there is hardly any movement of water vapour from the troposphere to the stratosphere. The stratosphere is characterized by an increase in ozone gas with a maximum ozone concentration at about 30 km. The stratosphere is, therefore, also called the ozonosphere because of this presence of the ozone layer. This ozone layer protects us from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Commercial airlines normally fly in the lower levels of the stratosphere. They do this to avoid atmospheric turbulence that occurs in the troposphere. The stratopause, the upper part of this layer, separates it from the mesosphere
- 8. Mesosphere °
- 10. It is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere. It starts at the top of the thermosphere and continues until it merges with space. Temperatures increase with altitude in this layer because of solar radiation and can exceed 4,000°C. While hydrogen and helium are the main gases of this layer, they exist only in very small quantities. Structure of the atmosphere This is because of the absence of gravity.
