In which layers are variable gasses found?
plsss help me! I have a quiz tomorrow
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, water vapor, particulates . . .
In which layers of what? The ocean? The atmosphere? The earth's mantle? The empire state building? The ???
The atmosphere is comprised of layers based on temperature. These layers are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. A further region at about 500 km above the Earth's surface is called the exosphere.

I want to know WHICH LAYERS of Earth's atmosphere has variable gases
k thx :)
no prob, hope it helps
Variable gases are primarily found in the Earth's atmosphere, which is divided into five main layers. These layers are known as the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.
The variable gases, also known as greenhouse gases, are present in varying quantities throughout these layers. They include gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and ozone (O3). These gases have the ability to absorb and emit radiation, which contributes to the greenhouse effect and affects climate patterns.
To remember the layers of the Earth's atmosphere, you can use the acronym "TSMTE." Each letter represents the first letter of one of the layers:
- Troposphere: This is the layer closest to the Earth's surface, extending up to about 8-15 kilometers. It is where variable gases are most concentrated, including greenhouse gases. This layer is where weather events occur and where we live.
- Stratosphere: Located above the troposphere, it stretches from about 15-50 kilometers. The ozone layer, which contains a high concentration of ozone molecules, is found in the upper portion of this layer. Ozone absorbs a significant amount of the Sun's ultraviolet radiation.
- Mesosphere: The mesosphere extends from about 50-85 kilometers above the Earth's surface. It is characterized by decreasing temperatures, reaching extremely cold levels around -90 degrees Celsius. Variable gases are present but in lower concentrations compared to the troposphere and stratosphere.
- Thermosphere: Extending from around 85-600 kilometers in altitude, the thermosphere is known for high temperatures. However, due to the extremely low density of particles, it would not feel hot to a human being present there. Variable gases are still present but in even lower concentrations.
- Exosphere: The outermost layer, extending beyond the thermosphere, is called the exosphere. This region gradually transitions into outer space, and the density of gas molecules becomes extremely low. Variable gases are present but at extremely low concentrations here.
Remembering the layers and understanding their characteristics will be helpful in answering questions about variable gases on your quiz. Good luck!
