GEOL 1304 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Nautical Mile, Montreal Protocol, Stellar Atmosphere
Document Summary
Butsynthetic compounds from refrigerant , propellants, and solvents also end up in the stratosphere. Cfc (cfc"s) ultraviolet light radiation airstrip cl (cl) off cfc"s, cl then chemical bond with o. Temperature normally reduction throughout troposphere inversion stratum = layer where temperature suddenly increases stratosphere. Atmosphere extends to 32,000 km (20,000 nautical mile ) from surface exosphere - extremely few hydrogen and helium atoms are still appreciation by gravity thermosphere at 480 km (300 mi)--> top of principal standard atmosphere. Atmosphere is a very thin layer of gaseous state if earth = size of an apple, ambience = thickness of the cutis without it, no lifetime on earth protective lter , maintains temperature. In addition to nitrogen, oxygen etc. atmosphere also contains: variable throttle : carbon copy dioxide and monoxide, methane, sulfur particles: heater , ash, dust, pollen, salt chemicals: smog.
