THE ATMOSPHERE

IS THE LAYER OF AIR THAT SORROUNDS THE EARTH

HAS VARIOUS LAYERS

THE TROPOSPHERE THE STRATOSPHERE OUTER LAYER

NEX TO THE SURFACE CONTAINS THE OZONE VERY THIN

AIR WE BREATHE THERE ARE THREE:

21% OXYGEN + 78%

NITROGEN + 1% OTHER THE MESOSPHERE THE THERMOSPHERE THE EXOSPHERE

 WEATHER AND CLIMATE

WHAT IS THE DIFERENCE BETWEEN WEATHER (tiempo) AND CLIMATE (clima)?

WEATHER: NATURAL CHANGES THAT HAPPEN IN THE ATMOSPHERE IN A CERTAIN PLACE OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF
TIME (A DAY OR A WEEK) AND CLIMATE: AVERAGE WEATHER (clima promedio) IN A CERTAIN PLACE OVER A
LONG PERIOD OF TIME (YEARS OR DECADES).

IS THE SCIENCE OF STUDYING THE ATMOSPHERE AND PREDICTING THE WEATHER
