Course: Ecology and Environmental Management (03063-III) > Section: Protecting the Environment—Air and Noise

Diagram should include

- major gases present
- layers of the atmosphere
- variances in the layers depending on location on Earth, seasonal temperatures, and both combined.

- What are the percentages of each gas, and does it change? If so, why and/or how?
- How much of any one gas do humans take in with each breath?
- What is the thickness of each layer in the atmosphere during the summer in the southern hemisphere, as opposed to the same layer during the same period in the northern hemisphere?
- What factors affect the layers?
- What are the effects of carbon sequestration on coral reefs?
