This article throws light upon the five major layers of the atmosphere. The regions are: 1. Troposphere 2. Stratosphere 3. Mesosphere 4. Thermosphere 5. Exosphere. Region # 1. Troposphere: Almost 70% of the mass of the atmosphere is contained in this layer. It is more or less homogeneous in composition where there is no air pollution. The water content here [...]
The below mentioned article provides quick notes on the atmospheric temperature and composition. Atmospheric Temperature: Based on the atmospheric temperature profile, the atmosphere is classified into four regions. The layer next to the earth's surface is called the troposphere. Its thickness ranges between 8 to 16 km depending upon the season and the latitude of a place. Its temperature decreases [...]
Reactions of Atmospheric Chemistry! Atmospheric Chemistry: From natural and man-made sources gaseous and particulate matters are emitted mainly into the troposphere. The larger and heavier particulate matters settle down quickly after emission due to gravitational force. The finer and lighter particles remain suspended for a longer period. Some of these particles settle down while the others, particularly, the hygroscopic ones [...]
