Atmosphereic Factors-Oscar
Introduction
The way the atmosphere is how our world works. There are four layers of the atmosphere. The four layers are called the troposphere, stratosphere mesosphere and the thermosphere. The layers of the atmosphere help us live on this world. The all help keep this planet safe from things that can harm the planet and the things that live on the planet.It keeps the planet temperature right gives of air that we need to breath with to live and more.
Part1A
Troposphere gives us the temperature the air and all the other things we need to have to live on this planet.It is very important to us because it is the part we live in. It has the land and the water we need. The next layer is the stratosphere. It is the part that protects us from the UV radiation. The radiation can burn us because it is so hot. The ozone is in this part of the atmosphere that helps us from the UV light and can help us from not burning. The mesosphere is to protect us from the asteroids and meteoroids. The meteoroids can hurt the planet. The thermosphere is the start of the atmosphere of earth. It has the Aurora Borealis the northern lights. The atmosphere has two parts. The ionosphere and the exosphere.
Part2A
The
21% of earths gases are the part were it is the oxygen. The 78% is nitrogen and 1% all the other gases on the planet. The reason on the there is so much nitrogen is because the air is mixing with the fossil fuels. That is how we have so much nitrogen in the air. Oxygen is another thing because we have to breath some of it as well. All the other gases are out there but there is to little of it to measure but we do breath other gases as well.
This is the diagram of heat on earth.

Part1A
Part2A
The
Part3A
The North and the south are green so it is colder in there. The blue is were the ozone is starting to die and come into our atmosphere. The yellow is warmer so it is not as cold. The red is the place that is so hot it is hot twenty-fours seven. In the red it up to the 80's or above. The red and the yellow is were we live.
Part1B
Greenhouse
There are several threats to us on the planet. One the ozone can harm us by irritating our eyes. The earth is catching the heat from the sun and like the greenhouse effect it will keep the heat in the atmosphere. The north and south poles are decreasing because the heat is melting the poles to the point that the habits are dieing so that the animals living there are losing home territories. Greenhouse effect is the process by which heat is trapped in the atmosphere by gases that form a "blanket" around Earth. Greenhouse
Part2B
Carbon dioxide water vapor and methane are things that trap heat in our atmosphere. The effect on global warming is that it will hurt the environment in the poles because the ice is cold and the heat will melt the land that animals live on. We should care because if the atmosphere goes all the heat will go up to the point it burns and if it gets cold it starts to freeze and w would be a ice Popsicle. An increase in carbon dioxide will make it hotter and so then the temperature will increase a few degrees Celsius. If there was less carbon dioxide then it would get cooleer but still at a warm temp..
Ozone
The ozone layer is there to protect us from the ultraviolet radiation. Th UV Radiation can burn us and harm us in other ways to. That is why we have the ozone layer. It protects us from the UV light. It helps us from protecting us from UV light. It can harm us by harming our eyes and more.It is in the stratosphere. It is dieing because of our fossil fuel is eating it so less and less so if all gone all the UV light can harm us and more. Styrofoam is one of the things that is harming the ozone layer. IT is starting to break down that more of the UV lights are coming through and harming people. It can do many things that can harm our beings and all the other animals on the world. On the environment all the plants and other beings can die or other things as well. But it will change the way most animals live as well as us. Stop using dangerous things that can harm the ozone layer for instance don't crush the Styrofoam because it hurts the ozone but you can keep it together.
Conclusion
In conclusion to this we need to take care of the earth more because some of it is dieing and we need most of what earth gives us and more.This is another thing house gases . It gets very hot on the equator. Make sure to keep yourself hydrated it is a really hot day because your body needs the moister if not it is going to get hotter.

Ozone Help And Harm
There are two things ozone can do for us. One of them is that it can help us or it can hurt us. But right now we are depleting the amount of ozone by harmful things that will kill all of it. First I am going to talk about how it helps. It helps us by protecting all of us from the UV lights. The UV lights harm by burning us to a crisp. That is how it helps us from UV radiation. It can also harm us by coming into our atmosphere were we live and irritate us. It gets in our eyes and it kills the plants that help produce oxygen for us.
It is for us to keep it in the sky to protect us and not to kill it because it is now depleting because we are killing it with our chemicals. Our chemicals are killing the ozone that protects us from the UV radiation that is now harming us. Styrofoam is one of the big things that are killing the ozone layer. We need to keep this planet in tack because it is probably the only place that is so different from the other planets.

PHOTOCHEMICAL

The issue in the photochemical block the sun light and it can not reach us. The things we are using are hurting the atmosphere and now the stratosphere with the ozone layer can not protect us also it can damage plants or other organisms on earth. Ozone is also damaging and irritating people and also killing plants. The U.S. have passed laws that will help us reduce air pollution. Air quality has improved over the past 30 years. Some other solutions are to become more green and try to keep the area we are in clean and safe for generations to come. It will take us a long time to but in so many years it can be done. The consequences are we can lose the gift of life and the place we once lived on will be nothing but a planet that looks like a moon with no atmosphere.We can still save this planet from dying. Do anything to keep the world clean.
