Question 5.
Describe die composition of die atmosphere
Answer:
The changes in temperature at various attitudes divide the atmosphere into 5 layers.
1. Troposphere
2. Stratosphere
3. Mesosphere
4. Thermosphere
5. Exosphere
1. Troposphere:
It extends to a height of 8 km at the poles and 18 km on equator. Dust particles and water vapor are found in this layer. All kinds of weather phenomenon like clouds, rainstorm etc. is observed in this layer. All types of life forms are found in this layer. This layer is also known as dynamic layer.
2. Stratosphere:
The second layer of the atmosphere is known as stratosphere. The temperature in this layer is constant till 20 kms. height and then slowly increases.
3. Mesosphere:
The height of this layer is 50 to 80 km from the sea level. The variation in temperature is less in this layer as water vapor, clouds and dust are found less and fast wind blows here.
4. Thermosphere:
The thermosphere starts from the height of 80 km from sea level. The density of air is very less in this layer. The
temperature increases with height in this layer. Two layers of gases are found here. One is the ozone layer and the other is the ion layer.
The ozone layer is spread at a height of 32 to 80 km from the earth. The ion layer is found at a height of 80 to 400 km. from earth. The electrically charged particles stop the radio waves transmitted from the earth and return it back to the earth. In this way we can listen to various radio programmers.
5. Exosphere:
This is the outermost layer of die atmosphere the upper limit of this layer is uncertain. The density of air is the least here.
Question 6.

Winds are the natural horizontal movement of air over the earth’s surface.
Difference between air and wind:
- When air moves vertically downwards or upwards, it is known as air. But when it moves horizontally, it is known as wind.
- Airis calm-but when it becomes dynamic it take / the form of wind. Wind always blows from high pressure to low pressure.
Question 7.
Explain with the help of a diagram the changing seasons of the earth.
Answer:
The earth’s axis forms an angle of 66 \(\frac { 1 }{2 }\) with the plane of the earths orbit and the earth tilts at 23 1/2 degree on its axis. Let us understand how seasons occurs on earth.
