atmosphere of Earth is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by Earth’s gravity. The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation. A. Nitrogen - 78% - Dilutes oxygen and prevents rapid burning at the earth’s surface. Living things need it to make proteins. Nitrogen cannot be used directly from the air. The Nitrogen Cycle is nature’s way of supplying the needed nitrogen for living things. B. Oxygen - 21% - Used by all living things. Essential

The Concentration of CO2 in the Atmosphere Introduction Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless‚ odorless‚ non-flammable gas that can be produced by cellular respiration and burning of fossil fuels. Many types of industries such as breweries‚ mining ore and the manufacturing of carbonated drinks‚ drugs‚ disinfectants‚ pottery‚ and baking powder; utilize the CO2 gas (Appendix C). Recently Scientist proposed a theory in which CO2 concentration levels above 450ppm will lead to dramatic and potentially

sea levels rise‚ which would make them more power for dangerous hurricanes. Hurricanes draw power from warm water. Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans was a great example of the power of the ocean. There are so many things that affect the atmosphere. If the ozone layer were to be gone‚ of course the planet would heat up. It is really our only protection‚ in my opinion‚ from the dangerous rays from the sun. Granted our planet is the third farthest planet from the sun‚ we still need protection

Scattering in the Earth’s Atmosphere Tony Yuk Hei Chan Abstract Introduction When the sun radiates light to the earth‚ incoming solar radiation often is scattered from its original direction of propagation as it enter earth’s atmosphere. This is due to the scattering effect from different particles in the earth’s atmosphere. When the scattering occur‚ the phase and the polarization of solar radiation are often changed. In this experiment‚ we aimed to investigate the effect of two of the
