Atmospheric layer, Water cycle - Coggle Diagram
Atmospheric layer
Troposphere
The lowermost layer in which we live,
where temperature decreases with an increase in altitude,
-
normal lapse rate:6.5°C per kilometer (3.5°F per 1000 feet), :
-
-
Thermosphere
-
-
The temperature increases because of absorption of very short wave,high energy solar radiation
-
the temperature is very high because the gases of thermosphere are moving at very high speed and so sparse,therefore the temperature of a satellite orbiting the Earth in the thermosphere id determined chiefly by the amount of solar radiation absorbs
Stratosphere
the temperature remains constant to a height of about 20 kilometers (12 miles) and then begins a gradual increase that continues until the stratopause, at the height of nearly 50 kilometers (30 miles) above Earth surface
Temperatures increase in the stratosphere because it is in this layer that the atmosphere's ozone is concentrated .Ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the Sun.As a consequence,the stratosphere is heated
In the stratosphere, the atmospheric properties such as temperature and humidity are not readily transferred by large -scale turbulence and mixing
-
Mesophere
-
Because accessibility is difficult, the mesosphere is one of the least explored
regions of the atmosphere.
In the third layer, the mesosphere, temperatures again decrease with height until, at the
mesopaus .Approximately 80 kilometers (50 miles)
above the surface, the temperature approaches -90C
-
Water cycle
Evaporation
-
-
The energy is absorbed by water molecules during evaporation is used to give them the motion needed to escape the surface of the liquid and become gas
-
During the process, the higher the temperature the faster the molecules to escape the surface
-
Condensation
Water vapor changes to the liquid state ,
During condensation,water vapour molecules release energy (latent heat of condensation)
