    the atmosphere‚ surrounds our planet. It provides us with the air we breathe‚ and it protects us from the full blast of the sun’s radiation. Way up in the part of the atmosphere‚ called the stratosphere‚ a layer of gas filters out most of the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays. This layer of gas is called ozone and is located about five miles to 25 miles above the surface of the Earth. (Bright‚ 1991). Only about one-millionth of our atmosphere is made up of ozone. But it has a tremendously important

    The rock cycle is very important to us because it explains the way the different types of rocks are formed on earth. Geologists classify rocks in three groups‚ depending on the Earth processes that made them. Some rocks are formed by heat and pressure. Other rocks are formed by weathering and erosion. The three rock groups are igneous‚ sedimentary‚ and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks are formed from melted rock that has cooled and solidified. They can form underground or above ground.

    OZONE LAYER The Earth ’s ozone layer protects all life from the sun ’s harmful radiation‚ but human activities have damaged this shield. Less protection from ultraviolet light will‚ over time‚ lead to higher skin cancer and cataract rates and crop damage. The ozone layer is one layer of the stratosphere‚ the second layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. The stratosphere is the mass of protective gases clinging to our planet. Ozone is only a trace gas in the atmosphere only about 3 molecules for every

    Layers of the Atmosphere The envelope of gas surrounding the Earth changes from the ground up. Five distinct layers have been identified using... • thermal characteristics (temperature changes)‚ • chemical composition‚ • movement‚ and • density. Each of the layers are bounded by "pauses" where the greatest changes in thermal characteristics‚ chemical composition‚ movement‚ and density occur. Troposphere The troposphere begins at the Earth’s surface and extends from 4 to 12 miles (6 to 20

    Skin Layers 1. Epidermis The epidermis is the outer most layer of skin. It is built up of 5 layers (from the outside in) - stratum corneum is made of dead flat skin cells - stratum licidum - stratum granulosum - stratum spinosum - stratum basale Where cells divide and push previously formed cells into the upper layers. As the cells travel into the higher layers‚ they flatten and die‚ eventually. Specialized Epidermal Cells - melanocyte - produces pigment (melanin) - Langerhans’

    At a granular level‚ rocks are composed of grains of minerals‚ which‚ in turn‚ are homogeneous solids formed from a chemical compound that is arranged in an orderly manner. The aggregate minerals forming the rock are held together by chemical bonds. The types and abundance of minerals in a rock are determined by the manner in which the rock was formed. Many rocks contain silica (SiO2); a compound of silicon and oxygen that forms 74.3% of the Earth’s crust. This material forms crystals with other
