- the second layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. - the significance of this region is the presence of an ozone layer. - the temperature increases along with an increase in altitude. - the outermost region is known as stratopause.
Stratosphere
2
Recite the Structures of Earth’s Atmosphere
Done.
3
The rate of temperature decrease of the rising humid air parcel, it is usually 4.5 degrees centigrade per km. The latent heat of evaporation is released more when air goes up, hence temperature decrease is less of rising air and creates instability.
Moist Adiabatic Lapse Rate
4
Variables Influencing the Atmosphere

5
The atmosphere is conditionally unstable if..
Done.
6
Three Conditions of Moist Stability
Done.
7
Write the general form of dry air parcel.
Done.
8
The lowest layer and closest to the Earth’s surface. Contains approximately 75% of the Earth’s atmosphere. - about 99% of the total atmospheric water vapors and aerosols are present.
Troposphere
9
- the height of the _______ varies due to increased solar activities. - Temperature may reach 1500°𝐶, yet, due to the least number of atoms, the heat energy remains low. - auroras are also seen in this sphere. - hydrogen and helium ions are present in the outer layer of the ______\.
Thermosphere
10
The atmosphere is said to be absolutely stable if?
Done.
11
It is the ability of the atmosphere to retain its position. From unstable, stable and neutral
Atmospheric Stability
12
What is the global average tropospheric lapse rate?
6.5 K•km^-1
13
Refers to the gases surrounding a star or planetary body held in place by gravity.
Atmosphere
14
The rate of temperature decrease of the rising dry air parcel, it is usually 9.8 degrees centigrade per km. Dry condensed less when going up and latent heat of evaporation is less compared to normal lapse rate, hence temperature decrease is more with altitude.

26
The atmosphere is said to be absolutely unstable if?…
Done.
27
Refers to a volume of air, large enough to contain a great number of molecules, but small enough so that energy (heat) and mass (air molecules) are nearly constant within its boundaries.
