Question

First place the names of the atmospheric layers in their correct positions, then add the other labels in the appropriate layer.

Listed in the Item Bank are some important labels for sections of the image below. To find out more information about labels, some have more details available when you click on them. Drag and drop each label to the corresponding area it identifies in the image.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Troposphere. The troposphere starts at the Earth's surface and extends 8 to 14.5 kilometers high (5 to 9 miles).

Stratosphere. The stratosphere starts just above the troposphere and extends to 50 kilometers (31 miles) high

Mesosphere. The region of the earth's atmosphere above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere, between about 50 and 80 km in altitude.

Thermosphere. The region of the atmosphere above the mesosphere and below the height at which the atmosphere ceases to have the properties of a continuous medium. The thermosphere is characterized throughout by an increase in temperature with height

Inosphere. The layer of the earth's atmosphere which contains a high concentration of ions and free electrons and is able to reflect radio waves. It lies above the mesosphere and extends from about 80 to 1,000 km above the earth's surface.

Exosphere. The outermost region of a planet's atmosphere.

Answer 2

The atmospheric layers are named in order from the closest to Earth to the furthest as follows: Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere. Items or labels linked to each layer must correspond to the layer's specific characteristics, with the ozone layer fitting into the stratosphere and the ionosphere into the thermosphere as examples.

Step-by-step explanation:

The layers of the atmosphere, in order from Earth's surface up to space, are: Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere. When arranging the given labels on the image, you would need to varify the characteristics of each atmospheric layer. For instance, within the Troposphere, meteorological activities, such as weather, occur and it contains 75% of the atmosphere's mass. The Stratosphere is where the ozone layer resides which protects life on Earth from harmful solar radiation. The Mesosphere is where most meteors burn upon entering the Earth's atmosphere. The Thermosphere is an area characterized by extremely high temperatures and has the ionosphere within it, which facilitates radio communication. Finally, the Exosphere represents the outermost layer, merging into outer space.
