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. Gases in the atmosphere keep the temperature in a range to support life on earth.

Group of answer choices It consists of frequencies which are greater than the frequencies of atmospheric emissions. It relates to the natural frequencies of vibration of hydroxyl (OH) and hydrogen (H), respectively. It occurs in that part of the electromagnetic spectrum where the galactic "noise" from stars and interstellar clouds is minimized. It is considered the "electromagnetic oasis" for interstellar communication. It corresponds to wavelengths in the 18-21 cm range.arrow_forwardChoose the best answer to each of the following.
