What to Focus On
- Nitrogen and oxygen are the main atmospheric gases.
- Water vapour varies from 0.1% to 0.4%.
- Carbon dioxide, argon, helium, neon, krypton, xenon, ozone, and hydrogen are minor gases.
- The atmosphere is divided into layers by changes in temperature and density.
- Troposphere extends to about 12 km and is the weather layer.
- Stratosphere extends up to 50 km and contains ozone.
- Weather changes quickly, while climate is measured over a long period.
- Climate is usually defined over thirty years or more.
- Atmospheric pressure is highest at sea level.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Weather and climate mean the same thing.
Air pressure is the same everywhere, so wind cannot be explained by pressure differences.
Winds are named after the direction they blow towards.
