1. There is a massive blanket that is surrounding the earth and it is called the ATMOSPHERE. It is made up of different gases mostly nitrogen and oxygen which interact with the other types of gases such as argon, helium, carbon dioxide, neon, water vapor and dust. The atmosphere is divided into five layers namely: A. Troposphere - layer of the atmosphere nearest the earth • The troposphere goes from 0 km to 16 km. • All weather develops in the troposphere. B. Stratosphere - the second layer of the atmosphere • The stratosphere goes from 16 km to 50 km. • The protective ozone layer is found in this layer that protects us from the ultraviolet radiation of the sun. C. Mesosphere - the third layer of the atmosphere • The mesosphere goes from 50 km to 90 km. • Meteors burn up in this layer. • Radio waves are reflected to earth in the mesosphere. 1. According to the activity, describe the earth’s atmosphere. 2. What do you think is the main function of the atmosphere?​

Answer:

According to the activity, describe the earth’s atmosphere?

  • Earth's atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth and retained by the Earth's gravity. It contains roughly 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen 0.97% argon and carbon dioxide 0.04% trace amounts of other gases, and water vapor. ... The atmosphere has no abrupt cut-off.

What do you think is the main function of the atmosphere?

  • The atmosphere protects Earth from harmful solar radiations and regulates heating provided by the Sun. ... Moreover, stratospheric ozone plays a fundamental role for the formation of clouds and rain as it heats up and blocks water vapour in the lower layers of the atmosphere.
