Earth's Atmosphere

#🌍 Atmosphere: Your Ultimate Study Guide 🚀

Hey there, future environmental champion! Let's break down the atmosphere into bite-sized, easy-to-remember pieces. This guide is designed to be your go-to resource the night before the exam, so let's make every second count!

#Major Atmospheric Gases

#Key Players:

• Nitrogen (N2): The most abundant gas, released by denitrification. Think of it as the atmosphere's main structural component.
• Oxygen (O2): Essential for life, produced by photosynthesis. Remember, plants are our oxygen factories!
• Water Vapor (H2O): Varies greatly, highest near the equator due to humidity and tropical conditions. It's a major player in weather patterns.

#Greenhouse Gases:

• Carbon Dioxide (CO2): A major greenhouse gas, primarily from burning fossil fuels. 🏭

• Methane (CH4): Another potent greenhouse gas, also from fossil fuels and agriculture. 🐄

• Nitrous Oxide (N2O): A powerful greenhouse gas, emitted from agricultural and industrial activities.

#The Protector:

• Ozone (O3): Absorbs harmful UV radiation in the stratosphere. It's like Earth's sunscreen! ☀️
  • CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) damaged the ozone layer, but their use is now largely phased out.
