Alba Carrasco Daniela Valdez October 12, 2010 The Composition of the Atmosphere

* The atmoshphere is mixture of different gases. Earths atmosphere is a mixure of nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, and many other gases in which tiny, solid, and liquid particles are suspended. Oxygen and nitrogen make up 99% of the clean dry air. The amount of water vapor in air varys from about 0.02% in cold dry air, while it being 4.0 % in warm moist air. Various amounts of water droplets and solid particles are suspended in the atmosphere. Some solid particles u can actually see as dust, but most are microscopic.

* Topic is important because we live in it and the way that heat transfers is important to sustain life. exp we can't live in extreme or strong weather. *This topic is related to heat transfer because the higher you go in the atmosphere the hotter it gets so the heat transfers. The picture below is an example of the composition of the atmosphere relating to heat transfer. Conclusion: The composition of the atmosphere is very important and relates to heat transfer because the higher you go in the air the higher the temp. goes. And we can not live through very extreme conditions... This video explains a little bit what the composition of the atmoshphere check it out :) [:53 seconds to 1:30 seconds]  []
