This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Earth's Atmosphere, Protective Ozone Layer forms in Stratosphere, ~30% Water Vapor leads to Condensate Clouds, OCEANS redistribute Heat from Sun, Heat from Sun drives General Circulation of Atmosphere, OXYGEN ~21% is Product of Photo- synthesis, Earth's Atmosphere has, on average, Surface PRESSURE of about 1000 millibars, "Green- house" Gas transmits most Visible Sunlight, Snow forms dynamic Seasonal Polar Caps, COMPOSITION of Dry Air includes NITROGEN ~78%, Heat from Sun absorbed by and re-emitted by Surface, Earth's Atmosphere generally exhibits Blue Sky, General Circulation of Atmosphere takes place in Lower Atmosphere, Snow has accumulated to create Permanent Polar Caps, Carbon Dioxide -Trace- is "Green- house" Gas, "Green- house" Gas produces Warming Effect of ~35degC, Precipitation can be Rain, ~30% Water Vapor is "Green- house" Gas, General Circulation of Atmosphere leads to Frequent Local Pressure Changes, Moist Air can contain up to ~30% Water Vapor, Stratosphere lies above Troposphere
