GEOL 1304 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Stimulant, Teetotum, Ultraviolet
Document Summary
Insolation is the ace energy driving input in the earth-atmosphere organisation , but it is not equal at all surfaces across the globedue to the sun"s altitude, insolation is greatest at earth"s 1 sense of tropic (180- 50-80kmtemperature decreases, this sphere has the lowest temperature in the atmospheric state (-90 f- 130 f)teetotum of the mesosphere is called the mesopausethe lowest temperatures are at the mesopause, and the temperature increases as height decreases. Ionosphere- spans across mesosphere and thermosphere, changes atoms into positively charged ion (this physical process shuf e auroras), and it absorbs cosmic rays (gamma rays, x-rays, and some. Ultraviolet rays)ozonosphere- the helping of the stratosphere that contains an increased amount of money of ozone and absorbs uv rays (only uvc and uvb rays, not uva) 80km-480kmthe pep pill limit of the thermosphere is called the thermopause temperature are very high gear (2200 f) but there is very little heat (not many particles to get hot)
