The atmosphere is divided into four main layers - the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. The troposphere contains around 75% of the atmosphere's mass and is where most weather occurs. It contains uniform mixtures of gases. The stratosphere is around 50km thick and contains 1000 times less water but 1000 times more ozone than the troposphere. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor in the troposphere absorb and re-emit infrared radiation, warming the Earth's surface and allowing life to exist.

The Atmosphere Environment
This chapter discusses:
The significance of the Atmosphere
The composition of the Atmosphere
The layers of the atmosphere
The Atmospheric Circulation
Importance
Atmosphere – a thin layer of air that forms a protective covering around Earth.
It keeps Earth’s temperature in a range that can support life.
It also care for life-forms from some of the Sun’s harmful rays.
The Composition of Atmosphere
The Atmosphere** layer of gas that surrounds Earth more commonly known as “air”.
Atmosphere. How do you know its there
Is this “air” that surrounds us considered matter? Does it weigh anything? How do you know?
Think about it and decide on an answer.
Talk in groups with the person who sits by you
Be ready to tell the class what you decided and why.
Weight of the atmosphere
Gases are in the atmosphere.
They are things we learned about in the periodic table: Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen
It is matter! Sound can travel through it.
Even though you can’t see them, Atoms make up gases.
Are some atoms bigger than others?
Are their atomic weights all the same?
Helium vs. Carbon Dioxide
Do you think of helium as light and floating or heavy and falling?
Do you think about Carbon Dioxide as light and floating or heavy and falling….think about the gas released from dry ice… does it go up or down?

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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Naturalists at Large: Atmosphere
1.
2. Atmosphere
Thin envelope of
Weather gases that surrounds Climate
the planet.
The state of the Weather conditions
atmosphere at a at a locality averaged
given place and time over a specified time
period
3.
4. Atmosphere is divided into four
distinct zones of contrasting
temperature due to differential
absorption of solar energy.
There is little mixing between
layers.
As you move higher in altitude
the atmosphere thins out.
5. Troposphere contains about
75% of the mass the earth’s air,
but is only about 17km thick.
Most weather events occur here.
It’s composition is uniform due
to mixing caused by winds.
Temperatures drop with altitude.
The sharp boundary in
temperature at the tropopause
limits mixing with upper layers
6. Stratosphere extends to about
50km thick.
Similar in composition to the
troposphere except in two ways.
It contains1000 times less water
and is 1000 times higher in
ozone.
Ozone is produced by lightning
and solar irradiation of oxygen
molecules.
The Stratosphere is relatively
calm, volcanic ash or human
caused pollution can remain in
suspension in the stratosphere
for many years.
7. Past and Present Composition
The composition of the Earth’s atmosphere has changed since the
formation of the Earth. The Earth’s first atmosphere was mainly
helium and hydrogen. Volcanic emissions later added carbon
dioxide, nitrogen, water, sulfur dioxide and other elements.
8. Large amounts of carbon dioxide from volcanoes caused the
Earth’s past climate to be warmer than today’s.
Without carbon dioxide no life could be present on earth. Primitive
bacteria and algae in oceans could now photosynthesis.
9. But no life on land due to solar radiation from the sun.
But life in oceans is protected from radiation and can
develop due to presence of carbon-dioxide
10.
11. Free oxygen gas was absent in the earth’s early atmosphere.
Any oxygen produced by photosynthesis reacted with other chemicals
and was trapped in the form of oxide compounds in rock, Fe2O3 .
It took millions of years before oxygen was present as a gas in the
atmosphere
Nearly all the molecular oxygen in the atmosphere today was
produced by photosynthesis.
Sunlight + CO2 + H2O → O2 (g) + C6H12O6
Living organisms are responsible for the evolution of our
atmosphere. Free oxygen made it possible for life to evolve on land.
Before large amounts of free oxygen were present in the
atmosphere, lethal intensities of solar radiation flooded the Earth’s
surface.
Free oxygen reacts in the stratosphere to form ozone (O3). This ozone
layer shields the Earth’s Surface from lethal radiation.
12. Oxygen produced by photosynthesis builds up in the atmosphere. This
turns into ozone due to solar radiation.
13. Gas Symbol Percent by Volume
Nitrogen N2 78.08 %
Oxygen O2 20.94 %
Argon Ar 0.934 %
Carbon Dioxide CO2 0.033 %
Neon Ne 0.00182 %
Helium He 0.00052%
Methane CH4 0.00015 %
Krypton Kr 0.00011 %
Hydrogen H 0.00005 %
Nitrous oxide N2O 0.00005 %
Xenon Xe 0.000009 %
Water vapor varies depending on the location. From 0.01% to 5%
14. Suspended particles within the Atmosphere are called aerosols.
Aerosols can be both solid and
liquid. Some are too small to
see, other are clustered together
and can be seen as clouds.
Volcanoes are one major
source of natural aerosols
15. How does the Earth keep itself warm?
The average radiant energy from the sun falling on the surface
at about 343 watts /m2.
As it passes through the atmosphere, 6% is scattered back into
space by atmospheric molecules.10% is reflected back into
space from land and ocean surface.
The remaining 84% actually heats up the surface.
To balance this the Earth itself needs to radiate the same
amount of energy back into space.
The Earth emits long-wave length radiation in the form of
infrared radiation. (this depends on the temperature of the
surface and the type of surface)
But the amount of energy is not balanced.
16. Nitrogen and Oxygen gas can neither absorb or emit thermal radiation.
It is Water vapor, carbon dioxide, and some other minor gases which
absorb long-wave thermal radiation leaving the surface.
This is why the average surface temperature is 15°C instead of
-6°C which it should be it balanced.
1. Solar radiation
2. Radiation from
greenhouse gases
3. Radiation scattered
by atmosphere.
17. Some wavelengths of radiation from the Earth can escape into space
if there are no clouds. Other wavelengths are absorbed by gases and
re-emitted into space or back to the surface.
Graph of radiation emitted from Earth’s surface that is
absorbed by the Atmosphere.
18. Absorption of solar energy by the atmosphere is selective.
Visible light passes through, ultraviolet is absorbed mostly by
ozone in the stratosphere. Infrared is absorbed mostly by carbon
dioxide and water in the troposphere.
