Chapter 16 The Atmosphere Composition Structure And Temp Flashcards The warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of earth that occurs when carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gases in the air absorb and reradiate infrared radiation. heat. the total amount of kinetic energy due to the random motion of atoms or molecules in a body of matter; also called thermal energy. inclination of the axis. Study with quizlet and memorize flashcards containing terms like what are the three branches of earth science that will be studied in this course?, how do scientists study the atmosphere?, the prevailing conditions of the atmosphere over a short period of tie such as hourly or daily is called and more.

This page titled 3.1: structure and composition of the atmosphere is shared under a cc by nc 3.0 license and was authored, remixed, and or curated by stephen lower via source content that was edited to the style and standards of the libretexts platform. the atmosphere acts as a compressible fluid tied to the earth by gravitation; as a receptor. Earth’s atmosphere is divided into four distinct layers based on thermal characteristics (temperature changes), chemical composition, movement, and density (figure 6.1). the troposphere is the lowest layer extending from the surface up to roughly 18 km above the surface depending on location (varies from as low as 6 km to as high as 20 km. 4. carbon dioxide: ~0.036%. originally present in earth's early atmosphere in much higher concentration, but was converted to o 2 and other carbon compounds through photosynthesis by plants. b. other components of the atmosphere are present in variable concentrations. 1. water vapor (h 2 o): 0 4%.
