Thin layer of gases surrounding Earth

The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves

Water in its gaseous form

Transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles of matter

The atmospheric layer closest to Earth's surface

Transfer of thermal energy by the movement of particles

The atmospheric layer directly above the troposphere

Whether circulating air motions will be strong or weak

Ozone Layer: The area of the stratosphere with a high concentration of ozone

Ionosphere: a region within the mesosphere and thermosphere that contains ions.

Occurs in the troposphere when temperature increases as altitude increases
