olar energy by O2
Second closest- also known as Ozone layer (7-29 miles)
If you have PPO or PPB then you have
Furthest from earth (52+miles)
Maximum temperatures occur nearest the surface of earth
Temperatures at coldest in atmosphere
Closest to earth (0-7 miles)
Slightly slower winds at altitude of 13km in subtropics flowing west-east
Subtropical Jet Stream
110-185kph winds at altitude of 10 km in mid-latitudes flowing west-east
Polar Jet Stream
Temperature drops uniformly with height at 6.5C per 1000 meters
High level thunderstorms can occasionally occur
From burning fuel (motor vehicles), can often be seen as a reddish-brown layer over many urban areas. Also involved in ground-level ozone and acid rain.
Nitrogen Oxide (NOx)
Power plants are the largest single contributor. Dissolves in water vapor to form acid.
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
Found naturally in the environment as well as in manufactured products. Highest levels of ___ in the air are generally found near ___ smelters.
Can come from burning of materials or anything generating dust, some are natural (volcanoes). Extremely small particles and liquid droplets. Made up of a number of components including acids (nitrates&sulfates), organic chemicals, metals, and soil particles.
Particulate Matter (PM)
Found/formed when carbon in fuel is not burned completely. Component of vehicle exhaust. Also comes from industrial processes (metals & chemical manufacturing), wood burning
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Found in Troposphere (lower atmosphere) and Stratosphere.
What units are ozone depletions measured in?
Dobson Units (DU)
the degree to which species are found only in a given place and therefore, have a native local range.
What is the link between water quality, soil, and food production?
Bad soil= decrease in water quality= how we produce our food.
Transport, precipitation, evaporation, condensation, groundwater, infiltration.
