The atmosphere is composed of five major layers. These layers are, in order from the surface of the earth, troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, ionosphere, and exosphere.

troposphere - lowest layer that provides majority of our weather. contains four-fifths of air on the earth and extends to a maximum height of 11 miles at the equator and lesser height at the poles.

stratosphere - extends to the height of 30 miles from the equator and it's the location of the ozone layer.

mesosphere - extends to the height of 52 miles from the equator and is where meteors generally burn up

ionosphere - extends to the height of 430 miles from the equator and is already considered as part of the outer space. It is where satellites orbit around the world.

exosphere - extends to the height range of 620 miles to 6,214 miles from the Earth's surface and merges with interplanetary space

How does water get to the tops of the tallest trees against the force of gravity
alexira [117]
Water gets to the leaves in the tops of the tallest trees by something called the cohesion-tension theory. Water has two very unique properties called adhesion and cohesion. Cohesion is the tendency of water molecules to stick together with one another. The water sticks together, leaving no room for air, strengthening the "force" of the water going up the tree. The water also sticks to the sides of the xylem inside the tree. In addition to these properties, there are also the factors of negative and positive water potential. For more information, look up more details of the cohesion-tension theory.
