Write your answer on the space provided before the number. 1. lonosphere contains many electrically charged particles called ions. Satellites are stationed in the exosphere. 2. 3. Mesosphere is where auroras occur. Weather occurs in the troposphere. The ionosphere overlaps the mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Jet aircrafts fly in the stratosphere. The earth's ozone layer is in troposphere. Meteors or rock fragments burn up in the mesosphere. Space shuttles fly in the thermosphere. 10. Cloud formation occurs in the stratosphere. 11. Communication satellites are found in the ionosphere. 12. Mesosphere contains enough oxygen to enable us to breathe. 13. Our atmosphere has a high percentage of nitrogen. 14.
