The document summarizes key aspects of Earth's atmosphere. It describes the atmosphere as a layer of gases surrounding the planet that is held in place by gravity. It notes the atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%) and serves important functions like absorbing energy from the sun, protecting the surface from radiation, and supporting life. The document also outlines the main layers of the atmosphere from lowest to highest: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.
The earth is the only known planet, on which life exists. The present condition and properties of earth’s atmosphere are one of the main reasons for earth to support life. The atmosphere is the blanket of gases or vapours that surrounds the earth, and held together by the force of gravity.

This presentation talks about our atmosphere, its composition, the layers of the atmosphere, effects of EM radiation, EM spectrum, Visible spectrum, factors affecting our atmosphere, terrestrial long wave flux and how earth's radiation release and income gets balanced in brief, the sources from which the information has been taken is mentioned in the end of the presentation.
Earth as a system is composed of numerous interacting parts or subsystem. Earth system science attempts to integrate the knowledge from traditional sciences, geology, atmospheric science, chemistry, biology and so on. Earth is just a small part of larger system known as the solar system.
Earth system has nearly endless array of subsystems in which matter is recycled over and over again.
This presentation is for kids understanding about earth atmosphere and different types of layers in our earth atmosphere as well as the composition of air and how auroras are formed in the universe.

its a small view of layers of atmosphere! maximum every person have to know this type of information etiher they're engineer, doctor or accountant! it's a basic for our lives!

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.
How to Split Bills in the Odoo 17 POS ModuleCeline George
Bills have a main role in point of sale procedure. It will help to track sales, handling payments and giving receipts to customers. Bill splitting also has an important role in POS. For example, If some friends come together for dinner and if they want to divide the bill then it is possible by POS bill splitting. This slide will show how to split bills in odoo 17 POS.
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”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?

The Earth's Atmosphere
1.
2. Atmosphere
• An atmosphere is a layer of gases that may surround a
material body of sufficient mass and that is held in place
by the gravity of the body.
• An atmosphere may be retained for a longer duration, if
the gravity is high and the atmosphere’s temperature is
low.
• Some planets consist mainly of various gases, but only
their outer layer is their atmosphere.
3.
4. Earth’s Atmosphere
Earth’s atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the
planet.
The Earth is surrounded by a blanket
of air, which we call the atmosphere.
It reaches over 560 kilometers
from the surface of the Earth.
Atmosphere:
Absorbs the energy from the Sun
Recycles water and other chemicals
Protects us from high-energy radiation and the frigid
vacuum of space.
The atmosphere protects and supports life.
7. Layers of the atmosphere:
Troposphere
Lowest and thinnest layer
16 km at equator, 8 km at poles
90% of the atmosphere’s mass
Temperature decreases with altitude
6°C per kilometer
Top of troposphere averages –50°C
Where weather occurs
Boundary between the troposphere, and the
stratosphere is called the tropopause
8. Stratosphere
Extends from 10 km to 50 km
above the ground
Less dense (less water vapor)
Temperature increases with
altitude
Almost no weather occurrence
Contains high level of ozone
Ozone layer
Upper boundary is called stratopause.
9. Mesosphere
Extends to almost 80 km high
Gases are less dense.
Temperature decreases as altitude increases.
Gases in this layer absorb very little UV
radiation.
10. Thermosphere
Above the mesosphere and
extends to almost
600 km high.
Temperature increases
with altitude.
Readily absorbs solar
radiation.
Temperature can go as high as 1,500°C
Reflects radio waves.
11. Exosphere
Uppermost region of
Earth's atmosphere.
it gradually fades into
the vacuum of space.
Air in the exosphere is extremely thin.
in many ways it is almost the same as the airless
void of outer space.
12. Kinds of Gases
Earth’s atmosphere is made of a mixture of gases
called air.
Nitrogen gas makes up about 78% of Earth’s
atmosphere.
The second most abundant gas
is oxygen, which makes up 21%
of Earth’s atmosphere.
The third Argon (Ar, 0.9%).
Carbon Dioxide (CO2, 0.03%).
13. Composition of the Atmosphere
The atmosphere is comprised of a variety of gases:
o Major Constituents (99%):
Nitrogen (N): 78%
Oxygen (O2): 21%
o Trace Constituents:
Argon (Ar), about 0.9%
Water vapor (H2O), up to 10000 ppmv
Carbon dioxide (CO2), 350 ppmv
Ozone (O3), near zero at the surface, up to 10 ppmv in
thestratosphere
Methane (CH4), 1.7 ppmv
and others…..
ppmv = “parts per million by volume”

16. Effects of Acid Rain
Acidification of bodies of water
Damage of vegetation
Damage to building materials, statues, etc.
17. The ground is heated by visible and (some) infrared
light from the Sun.
The heated surface emits infrared light.
The majority of Earth’s atmosphere (N2 and O2) are
not good greenhouse gas.
The small amount of greenhouse gases (H2O,
CO2)traps (absorb and re-emit) the infrared
radiation, increasing the temperature of the
atmosphere…
Earth’s atmosphere is slightly warmer than what it
should be due to direct solar heating because of a
mild case of greenhouse effect…

21. MOST IMPORTANT:
WE MUST REDUCE OUR CONSUMPTION OF
NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES.
WE MUST REDUCE THE GREENHOUSE GASES
WE RELEASE.
START BEING ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY
REDUCE. REUSE. RECYCLE
