HYDROSPHERE ATMOSPHERE precipitation Water, lakes, ice, humidity Air surrounding earth BIOSPHERE life wind erosion water erosion LITHOSPHERE Rock, soil, mountains, etc.

4 Layers to the Atmosphere
Thermosphere: absorbs SOLAR RADIATION Northern/Southern Lights form here Mesosphere: where SHOOTING STAR burn up Stratosphere: the protective OZONE LAYER floats here Protects against ULTRAVIOLET rays SKIN & EYE CANCER are major risks that could arise without this layer Troposphere: where WEATHER forms
5
Why do you think that the temperature heats up within the Stratosphere?
6
Ozone Layer Destroyed due to CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons)
Hairspray Refrigerators In 1987, banned CFCs
7
Causes of Weather If there are LANDFORMS or BODIES OF WATER present
The direction the AIR moves How HOT or COLD the air is How much WATER VAPOR is within the atmosphere
8
Orographics
9
Convectional Uplift
10
Air Masses Maritime Moist air Continental Dry air Tropical Warm air
Arctic/Polar Cold air
12
Fronts Air masses moving brings Cold Fronts Warm Fronts
13
Cold Fronts Dense – bulldozer Sharp drop in temperature Steep uplift
Heavy Precipitation Thunderstorms
14
Warm Fronts Sweeps the cold front aside Gradual uplift Milder weather
Light rain Brings warmer temperatures
16
Front Symbols COLD WARM
