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

There are many different layers within the Earth. The core is at center of the Earth. The Earth’s core takes up sixteen percent of Earth’s volume‚ containing thirty-three percent of its Mass ..Pressure rises steadily inside the earth because of the weight of overlying rock. Therefore ‚the Pressure at the outer boundary of the core reaches 1.37 million atmospheres‚ 3.7 million Atmospheres. The core is made mostly of iron and nickel and possibly smaller amounts of lighter elements including sulfur

In the documentary‚ Dying to be Thin‚ dancers and regular people are asked about the pressure to be thin. This video has taught me that in our society being extremely skinny is considered beautiful. Not everyone is meant to be a size 2. It all depends on what your body type is. Everyone is beautiful no matter what size they wear. The word beautiful does not require the word skinny. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you don’t see yourself as beautiful your confidence is very low.

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

The book Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer tells the story of his Everest expedition in 1996. Though ideally everyone would survive this expedition unharmed‚ this was unfortunately not the case; all the dangers of Everest can lead to hypoxia‚ frostbite‚ falling into a crevasse‚ or High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE). Krakauer describes how Ngawang Topche‚ a Sherpa who assisted Scott Fischer’s Everest expedition‚ developed HAPE while climbing the mountain and the effect it had on him. High Altitude Pulmonary
