The Air-Sea Connection
How is the ocean and the atmosphere connected?
Weather
The sea and atmosphere come together at an interface.Waves and surface currents are wind-generated. The atmosphere pushes the ocean surface along. But as the ocean moves, heat is redistributed and eventually tossed back into the atmosphere. The exchange of heat influences the pressure field in the atmosphere, which modifies the wind field.
Ocean absorbing heat from the sun
The ozone in the stratosphere doesn't absorb all of the heat that is coming from the sun, the ozone layer is getting thinner and thinner by the decade,and it gets hotter and hotter.The ocean stands in and absorbs the excess heat that is seeping through the invisible holes.

The Big Blue
Scientists call the total of the earths water a aquasphere.water on earth makes up 71% of the earths suface, but with all this water only less than 1% is drinkable. The ocean is home to many organsms.
The five important layers of our atmosphere.
1.
- The troposphere is the first layer above the surface and contains half of the Earth's atmosphere. Weather occurs in this layer. 2.
- the stratosphere known as the ozone layer, absorbs harmful rays from the Sun. 3.The mesosphere is the layer that burns up any debris coming from outerspace. 4.The thermosphere is a layer with auroras. Auroras are reddish or greenish light in the sky. 5.The exosphere is the thinnest layer of our atmosphere.
The Coriolis Effect.
The Coriolis Effect is the apparent deflection of moving objects when the motion is described relative to a rotating reference frame.

Frequently asked questions
Q. without the atmosphere ,would we be still alive?. A.We need the atmosphere to live.it provides us with oxygen to breathe,but also many other things. Q. What harmful rays from the sun does the atmosphere protect us from? A.the atomsphere shields us from gamma rays and ultraviolet light. Q.
