Atmosphere
Science 7: Quarter 4, Week 3
Atmosphere
The blanket or envelop of
gases/air surrounding the
Earth.
78% Nitrogen (N)
Thermosphere
Mesosphere
Layers of Atmosphere
Stratosphere
Troposphere
Troposphere
• Starts at the Earth’s surface and
extends 8 km to 14.5 km high.
• Makes up approximately 75% of the
total mass of the atmosphere and
containes 99% of the atmosphere’s
water.
• “Tropos” means change.
• Temperature in this region decreases
as altitude increases.
Stratosphere
• “Strat” means layer.
• The stratosphere is the layer of air
that starts just above the troposphere
and extends to about 50 km.
• In this layer, temperature increases
as the altitude increases.
• Ozone layer is found in this layer.
Mesosphere
• The layer between 50 km and 80 km
above the Earth’s surface.
• “Meso” means middle
• Temperature decreases as altitude
increases
Thermosphere
• “Thermo” means heat.
• 80 km and 110 km above the Earth
• Comparatively closer to the sun and
absorbs large amount of solar
energy.
• Ionosphere is found in this layer.
Ionosphere
• An ion-rich region
• Is made of gas particles charged by
solar energy
• Where auroras occur
Exosphere
• It is more than 700 km, maybe up to
10 000 km from the surface of Earth
with no clear boundary.
• “Exo” means outside

SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY
The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a
substance by 1 degree Celsius.
• slight to moderate
rainfall
SOUTHWEST MONSOON
• moderate to heavy
rainfall
INTERTROPICAL
CONVERGENCE ZONE
a.Atmosphere
b.Ozone layer
2. This is the first layer of the atmosphere
and this is where we live.
a.Troposphere
b.Thermosphere
3. This is the layer where you can find
another layer called the ozone layer.
a.Troposphere
b.Stratosphere
4. Meteors decelerate in this layer, forming a
burning tail we call “shooting stars”. This is also
the middle layer and the coldest layer of the
atmosphere.
a.Exosphere
b.Mesosphere
5. This is where the Ionosphere is
located.
a.Thermosphere
b.Troposphere
6. This is the last layer, the outermost
layer that extends up to the space.
a.Stratosphere
b.Exosphere
7. What is the study of the weather
patterns and the atmosphere?
a.Meteorology
b.Astronomy
8. What will happen when air is
heated?
a. Breezes
b. Monsoons
10. What kind of breeze do we experience at
day, when warm air rises from the land and
cool air from the sea moves to the land?
a.Land breeze
b.Sea breeze
11. What kind of breeze do we experience at
night when warm air rises from the sea and
cool air from the land moves to the sea?
a.Land breeze
b.Sea breeze
12. This are winds that involve bigger
masses of air and brings rainfall.
a. Monsoons
b. Breezes
13. Northeast monsoon brings cold and dry
wind with slight to moderate rainfall. What is
it called in the Philippines?
a.Amihan
b.Habagat
14. Southwest monsoon brings warm and
moist air with heavy rainfalls. What is it
called in the Philippines?
a.Amihan
b.Habagat
15. What is formed when winds from the
northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere
meet or converge?
