Everyone: Good Afternoon sir Luigi, Good Afternoon classmates, this is group 1.

Brenz: In our presentation for today, we're gonna tackle about these two types of the atmosphere.

Tristan: But before that, did you guys know, that the atmosphere is very important? and it is also the
layer of gas or layers of gases that envelop a planet, and is held in place by the gravity of the planetary
body.

Janah: Now that you know that, let's get to our presentation.

CJ: The atmosphere is a blanket of gases that protects all life forms on Earth. It keeps Earth’s
temperature within the normal range and protects us from the harmful rays of sunlight. It also warms
Earth by day and cools it at night.

Megan: The atmosphere is composed of different gases. It is seventy-eight percent nitrogen (78%),
twenty-one percent oxygen (21%), one percent argon and other gases (1%)

Tristan: Nitrogen is an important component of proteins and other building blocks of life. It is essential
for the growth and survival of all organisms. It is also responsible in controlling the amount of oxygen in
the atmosphere, thus, preventing the rapid burning on the earth’s surface.

Keesha: Although it makes up the greatest percentage of gases in the atmosphere, it can not be used
directly by living organisms. It needs to be converted to a more usable form through the process of
nitrogen cycle.

Daven: Oxygen is used by organisms for respiration and burning, whereas carbon dioxide is used by
plants to produce oxygen.

Janah: Earth’s atmosphere is divided into five main layers: Troposphere, Straposphere, Mesosphere,
Thermosphere and Exosphere.

Edmart: Troposphere is the first and lowest layer of the atmosphere of the Earth, and contains 75% of
the total mass of the planetary atmosphere, 99% of the total mass of water vapor and aerosols, and is
where most weather phenomena occur.

Janah: It is approximately 7 to 20 km thick and consists almost half of Earth’s atmosphere. Air in the
layer is warmer near the surface and gets colder as it gets higher. It contains almost all the water vapor
and dust in the atmosphere that causes cloud formation. This is also the layer where weather occurs.

Joshua: From the planetary surface of the Earth, the average height of the troposphere is 18 km in the
tropics; 17 km in the middle latitudes; and 6 km in the high latitudes of the polar regions in winter; thus
the average height of the troposphere is 13 km.

Keesha: Further more detail, the next topic we're about to share with you is about the stratosphere.

Brenz: The stratosphere is the second layer of the atmosphere of the Earth, located above the
troposphere and below the mesosphere. The stratosphere is an atmospheric layer composed of
stratified temperature layers, with the warm layers of air high in the sky and the cool layers of air in the
low sky, close to the planetary surface of the Earth. The increase of temperature with altitude is a result
of the absorption of the Sun's ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer.
Megan: The temperature inversion is in contrast to the troposphere, near the Earth's surface, where
temperature decreases with altitude.

Ardi: The ozone layer absorbs harmful radiation from the sun. The air in this layer is very dry and about a
thousand times thinner than the air at sea level. It is also where jet aircrafts and weather balloons fly.

Janah: The stratosphere, strato- simply means "layer" or "level" lies above the earth's weather and
mostly changes very little. It contains the ozone layer, which shields us from the sun's ultraviolet
radiation except where it's been harmed by manmade chemicals.

Everyone: Thank you for listening to our presentation. Again this is group 1, and we hope you learned
something.
