WEB QUEST An activity to help you learn about the very important body of air that surrounds you. “Atmospheric Windows”

Start your quest by going to the following web site. This is a page from the SpaceLinks homepage. Read through the information on this page and its links. You will need to answer ALL of the questions on the following slide. All of the answers to the questions are on this web site. Good Luck!!

1. What is ozone and where in the atmosphere is it located? 2. What are the four layers of the atmosphere? 3. What type of radiation does the ozone keep from hitting the Earth? 4. What are four things will influence the amount of ozone in the atmosphere? Describe how they influence the ozone amounts. 5. Give one reason why it is important that the ozone blocks out ultraviolet light.

6. Use this picture and the following web site to describe the characteristics of each of the atmospheric layers. academy/space/atmosphere.html 7. How does the atmosphere aid life on Earth?
