Atomsphere

Question 1

Troposphere

Answer 1

0-12km
All weather exists here
Most pollution collects here
Temp decreases as altitude increases due to decreased pressue

Question 2

Straosphere

Answer 2

Contains ozone layers
Less moisture and pollution
14-50km
Due to the high concentration of ozone (which absorbs heat) gets warmer (temp inversion)

Question 3

Mesosphere

Answer 3

50-85km
No moisture, nothing to retain heat
Pressure continues to drop
strong winds due to lack of friction
No pollution

Question 4

Thermosphere

Answer 4

85-140km
Temperature inversion due to the presence of atomic oxygen
Extremely low pressure

Question 5

Tropopause, Stratopause, Mesopause

Answer 5

Isothermal layers, where despite an increase in altitude, temperature and pressure remain constant

Question 6

Polar Cell

Answer 6

Air rises and diverges towards to poles

Question 7

Ferrell Cell

Answer 7

Responsible for westerlies

Question 8

Cumulus

Question 11

High Clouds

Answer 11
