Label the
Earth's Atmosphere
Label the layers of the Earth's atmosphere using the terms
below.
|
|

Exosphere - the the
outermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere, where atmospheric
pressure and temperature are low.
Ionosphere - the atmospheric layer between the
mesosphere and the exosphere; it is part of the thermosphere.
Mesosphere - the atmospheric layer between the
stratosphere and the ionosphere.
Stratosphere - the atmospheric layer between the
troposphere and the mesosphere. The stratosphere is
characterized by a slight temperature increase with altitude
and by the absence of clouds.
Thermosphere - the layer of the atmosphere located
above part of the ionosphere (starting at the coldest part of
the atmosphere) and below outer space; it consists of the
exosphere and part of the ionosphere.
Troposphere - the lowest layer of the Earth's
atmosphere. The weather and clouds occur in the troposphere.
