Essential Question(s)What is the chemical composition of our atmosphere,and how does this illustrate a mixture of gases?

Tennessee SPI Objective:Describe the chemical makeup of the atmosphere.

Check for UnderstandingExplain how the chemical makeup of the atmosphereillustrates a mixture of gases.

SPI 0807.9.5Atmospheric Composition

SPI 0807.9.5Atmospheric Composition Notes Science

An atmosphere is the mass of gases that surrounds a planet and is held in place by the gravity of the planet.Planetary atmospheres are common in our solar system(Even the Moon has a thin atmosphere)

JupiterEarth

The Moon

What is an Atmosphere?

Mars Saturn

Earth's Current Atmosphere…(approx) 78% nitrogen…(approx) 21% oxygen…(approx) 1% other gases (argon, water vapor, carbon dioxide, ozone, etc)

Earth's Atmosphere

Earth’s atmosphere is a mixture of various gases

Nitrogen

Remember! Our atmosphere is a MIXTURE & not a compound

Earth's Current Atmosphere…(approx) 78% nitrogen…(approx) 21% oxygen…(approx) 1% other gases (argon, water vapor, carbon dioxide, ozone, etc)

Where did Earth's atmosphere come from?from comets and planetismals

Venting from volcanoes

oxygen from plants

NotesSPI 0807.9.5

Atmospheric Composition Science

Where did Earth's atmosphere come from?from comets and planetismals (water from space)

NotesSPI 0807.9.5

Atmospheric Composition Science

What are comets?Comets are giant "dirty snowballs" in space.

They consist of frozen water, stellar dust, and rocky debris.p406

Where did Earth's atmosphere come from?Venting from volcanoes3 most common gases from volcanoes(1) Water Vapor, (2) Carbon Dioxide, and (3) Sulfur Dioxide

NotesSPI 0807.9.5

Atmospheric Composition Science

Where did Earth's atmosphere come from?oxygen from plants (plants absorb carbon dioxide & release oxygen)

NotesSPI 0807.9.5

Atmospheric Composition Science

Has Earth's atmosphere ever changed?

NotesSPI 0807.9.5

Atmospheric Composition Science

Earth’s first atmosphere was mostly carbon dioxide, water vapor, & ammonia

Yes it has!

What changed it? Plants converted the carbon dioxide to oxygen , and this oxygen broke down the ammonia into nitrogen.

For the Earth’s atmosphere, section number two in the pieGraph above BEST represents the percentage of…?A) Carbon B) Oxygen C) Argon D) Nitrogen
