A video entitled "Composition of the Atmosphere" which talks about what gases are found in the atmosphere, what happens in photosynthesis, and what the ozone accomplishes.

Students will learn about the different layers of the atmosphere. The changes in the atmosphere are explained using examples of contemporary environmental conditions brought about by human behavior. The oxygen cycle and the carbon cycle...

In this video, we'll look at:<br/>
- What the early atmosphere was li<br/>ke on earth
- How that atmosphere changed t<br/>o be suitable for life
- The processes responsible for features of the earth we see today

This video discusses the importance of studying climate change and the efforts of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program (ARM) to improve our understanding of the Earth's climate. Through the establishment of monitoring facilities...

As a diver in the 1970s, marine ecologist Enric Sala saw once-lush oceanscapes reduced to underwater deserts -- but later, in marine preserves across the globe, he also witnessed the ocean's power to rejuvenate itself when left to its...

Since 1850, global average temperatures have risen by 1 degree Celsius. That may not sound like a lot, but it is. Why? 1 degree is an average. Many places have already gotten much warmer and if average temperatures increase one more...

Astronomers have found more than 5,000 planets in the last three decades, but that’s not nearly as exciting as potentially coming across the first extraterrestrial creatures. And we may finally be in a position to make that discovery.

Often hard-to-understand concepts of air, gases, air pressure, and layers of the atmosphere are plainly explained in this fascinating video. Concepts and terminology: oxygen, nitrogen, layers, weather, jet stream, and northern lights.

Upon viewing the Exploring Earth, Sun, and Moon video series, students will be able to do the following: Cite some of the characteristics of Earth which make it unique in our solar system, including: Earth's moderate temperature, the...

The video discusses how the Earth's atmosphere has evolved over the past 4.6 billion years, with a focus on the composition of gases present over different periods of time. It highlights the role of volcanoes, oceans, plants, and fossil...

The video discusses the history of the Earth's atmosphere and how it has changed over time. It explains the theories and evidence scientists have used to hypothesize these changes, from the early atmosphere being similar to that of Mars...

Delve into the Earth's atmosphere, a vital layer of gases enveloping the planet. Learn about its composition, layers, and crucial role in regulating temperature and protecting life on Earth.<b<br/>r/>

Earth's Materials and Systems part 4

Soil is a vital natural resource that supports life on Earth. It is a mixture of minerals, organic matter, gases, liquids, and organisms. Soil plays a crucial role in providing nutrients and moisture for plant growth, purifying water,...

This video discusses the importance of studying climate change and the efforts being made through the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program to understand and predict climate patterns. The program utilizes monitoring equipment and...

This video is answering the question of how long does carbon dioxide stay in the atmosphere.

In this video, viewers are taken on a journey back in time to early Earth. The video provides a fascinating glimpse into the conditions that made early Earth inhospitable for human survival.



This video is part of the 11-part...

Learn the basics about the natural greenhouse effect. The atmosphere helps to keep our planet warm by making it harder for the energy we get from the sun to escape back to the universe. Our atmosphere is held to the earth by the force of...

The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite has been scanning Earth for 20 years and now has a long enough record to help support climate change research. AIRS data on Earth’s atmosphere are...

Space Facts II puts viewers on the forefront of space exploration, examining its role on Earth in fighting forest fires, controlling diseases (such as diabetes), combating air pollution and mapping solar and lunar cycles. This video...

What is the source of the increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

The video discusses the greenhouse effect and how it works in the Earth's atmosphere. It explains how greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane absorb long-wavelength infrared and re-emit it, increasing the temperature of the...

Did you know that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere prevent heat from escaping?

One of the primary instruments on NASA's Aqua spacecraft is the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), which is providing a detailed three-dimensional view of the atmosphere. This new view is helping scientists to better understand the...

Much like a cell membrane, our atmosphere forms a protective boundary between outer space and the biosphere that allows for all life to exist on Earth’s surface. Today, we’re going to talk about its composition and layers (the...
