and various trace gases make up the remainder. Scientists divided the atmosphere into four layers according to temperature: troposphere‚ stratosphere‚ mesosphere‚ and thermosphere. The temperature drops as we go up through the troposphere‚ but it rises as we move through the next layer‚ the stratosphere. The farther away from earth‚ the thinner the atmosphere gets. 1.TROPOSPHERE This is the layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth’s surface‚ extending up to about 10-15 km above the Earth’s

The ozone layer is a layer in Earth’s atmosphere which absorbs most of the Sun’s UV radiation. It contains relatively high concentrations of ozone (O3)‚ although it is still very small with regard to ordinary oxygen‚ and is less than ten parts per million‚ the average ozone concentration in Earth’s atmosphere being only about 0.6 parts per million. The ozone layer is mainly found in the lower portion of the stratosphere from approximately 20 to 30 kilometres (12 to 19 mi) above Earth‚ though the

Atomic Structure Quiz Sample Questions 1. Why do only the number of protons and the number of neutrons make up the atomic mass of an element‚ but not the electrons? We generally do not use the number of electrons when calculating the atomic mass of an atom because they weigh so little (precisely 1/1836 AMU)‚ and only in precise calculations are the masses of the electrons included in atomic mass. 2. What was the difference between Mendeleev’s table and Mosley’s new arrangement? Mendeleev arranged

The ozone layer is a deep layer in the stratosphere‚ encircling the Earth‚ that has large amounts of ozone in it. The layer shields the entire Earth from much of the harmful ultraviolet radiation that comes from the sun. Interestingly‚ it is also this ultraviolet radiation that forms the ozone in the first place. Ozone is a special form of oxygen‚ made up of three oxygen atoms rather than the usual two oxygen atoms. It usually forms when some type of radiation or electrical discharge separates

There are many different layers within the Earth. The core is at center of the Earth. The Earth’s core takes up sixteen percent of Earth’s volume‚ containing thirty-three percent of its Mass ..Pressure rises steadily inside the earth because of the weight of overlying rock. Therefore ‚the Pressure at the outer boundary of the core reaches 1.37 million atmospheres‚ 3.7 million Atmospheres. The core is made mostly of iron and nickel and possibly smaller amounts of lighter elements including sulfur

History of the OSI Reference Model Looking at the origins of the OSI Reference Model takes us back to several issues that were discussed in the Networking Fundamentals chapter of this Guide; specifically‚ I am talking about standards and standards organizations. The idea behind the creation of networking standards is to define widely-accepted ways of setting up networks and connecting them together. The OSI Reference Model represented an early attempt to get all of the various hardware and software

Chapter 5: Questions 3‚4‚ and 8 9/29/2012 3. What are the parts of TCP/IP and what do they do? Who is the primary user of TCP/IP? TCP/IP has two parts. TCP is the transport layer protocol that links the application layer to the network layer. It performs segmenting: breaking the data into smaller PDUs called segments‚ numbering them‚ ensuring each segment is reliably delivered‚ and putting them in the proper order at the destination. IP is the network layer protocol and performs addressing
