HEAT IN OUR ATMOSPHERE
WHAT'S TRENDING AS WE GO UP?
ULTIMATE VIDEO TO RECAPTURE WHAT WE'VE LEARNED. IT ALSO DIPS INTO THE FUTURE.
FOR YOUR NOTEBOOK:
Notes:
Key Concepts:
As you rise in the atmosphere, the air is less and less dense, so the air pressure is less and less.
In the Troposphere, it gets colder as you go up.
Radiation has a lot to do with why certain areas of our atmosphere are hot.
Write your own observations of each atmospheric layer based on today's assignment:
ASSIGNMENT
YOU ARE CREATING YOUR OWN TEMPERATURE DIAGRAM OF THE ATMOSPHERE
You need 3 things:
The Atmosphere | Temperature Diagram Template (Button Below)
The Data Table (Button Below)
A Pencil
Here are your Directions:
Plot Temperature/Altitude points on the graph.
Connect the dots as you go from low to high altitude.
With your knowledge of the atmosphere, analyze why the temperatures fluctuate at each atmospheric layer. Place these observations in your notes.
Plot the Pressure/Altitude points on the graph.
Connect the dots as you go from low to high altitude.
With your knowledge of the atmosphere, analyze why the pressure fluctuates at each atmospheric layer. Place your analysis in your notes for this section.
THE THINGS WE SEE IN THE GRAPH
WEATHER (TROPOSPHERE)
MT. EVEREST (TROPOSPHERE)
OZONE LAYER (STRATOSPHERE)
METEORS BURNING (MESOSPHERE)
AURORA BOREALIS (THERMOSPHERE)
