Percolation/Infiltration
The Atmosphere
100
• The layer of the atmosphere we live in
• Troposphere
The Atmosphere
200
• Airplanes enjoy flying in this layer due to little wind resistance and clear skies.
• Stratosphere
The Atmosphere
300
•
• This important layer reflects radio signals and burns up meteors trying to enter our planet.
Thermosphere
The Atmosphere
400
• This layer is actually the beginning of “outer space”
•
Exosphere
The Atmosphere
500
• The layer of atoms comprised of 3 oxygen molecules in a weak bond
• Ozone Layer
