To form ozone in the stratospheric ozone layer, a ________ reaction splits an oxygen molecule (O2) into oxygen atoms, which then combine with oxygen molecules to make an ozone molecule (O3). This particular reaction requires _________ radiation that is present in sunlight.
[The first blank is NOT "chemical"; it is a type of chemical reaction. The second blank must be a term that is spelled out completely as one word, NOT a two-letter abbreviation.]




Most of the water vapor in Earth's atmosphere is located in the layer called the ________, which is why weather and clouds are found in this region. The atmospheric _____________ and __________ at the bottom of this layer are also at the highest values for the atmosphere, while the temperature at the bottom of this layer is high for the atmosphere, but not as high as it is in the thermosphere.


Draw an x-y graph that show the vertical profiles of pressure, density, and temperature in the troposphere. This means the vertical y-axis, which will be height or altitude, going from 0 to 10 km.


You can draw three separate graphs, or combine them into one (the axes do not need to be precisely calibrated; you are showing the general trends of each parameter, so the shapes of the plots are important). The axes (and curves, if necessary) must be labeled so we know what's being plotted (but again, they do not need to be calibrated with numerical values).
NOTE: the "Save Picture" button does not function. However, as long as the "uploaded successfully" green bar flickers every time you add something to the drawing, it should be auto-saving by itself. For some people, the last thing drawn before "submitting" the homework seems to not be saved. If this keeps happening, try drawing some random mark somewhere to make that the last thing drawn, causing everything before that to get saved.
