What is research? Depending on who you ask, you will likely get very different answers to this seemingly innocuous question. Some people will say that they routinely research different online websites to find the best place to buy goods or services they want. Television news channels supposedly conduct research in the form of viewer polls on topics of public interest such as forthcoming elections or government-funded projects. Undergraduate students research the Internet to find the information they need to complete assigned projects or term papers. Graduate students working on research projects for a professor may see research as collecting or analyzing data related to their project. Businesses and consultants research different potential solutions to remedy organizational problems such as a supply chain bottleneck or to identify customer purchase patterns. However, none of the above can be considered “scientific research” unless: (1) it contributes to a body of science, and (2) it follows the scientific method. This chapter will examine what these terms mean
The correct matches are:
1. Exosphere - Temperatures reach as high as 2000 C yet it feels very cold
This is the top layer of the atmosphere. The atoms are so dispersed that despite it having very high temperature it doesn't feel like it at all.
2. Thermosphere - Particles that have enough energy can escape into space
The thermosphere is the fourth highest layer of the atmosphere. The atoms in this layer are relatively distant from one another, so the particles that have enough energy manage to escape easily into the exosphere and then the space.
3. Mesosphere - It is the coldest region of the atmosphere
The mesosphere is the third highest layer. In this layer the temperatures constantly drop, and they go down to -85 degrees, making it the coldest layer by far.
4. Stratosphere - Ninety percent ozone is in this layer
The startosphere has a separte zone in it which is dominated by only one gas, the ozone. It is called the ozone layer, the one that protects the Earth from too intense UV radiation, and in fact over 90% of this gas is locate here.
5. Troposphere - It is warm due to the heat from Earth's surface
The troposphere is the densest and lowest of the layers. It is the one that also has Greenhouse gases which manage to trap the heat that is radiated from the surface of the Earth, thus keeping this layer relatively warm.

The appropriate response is gamma radiation. Alpha particles can be halted via air. UV radiation can be halted by a typical layer of clothing.Beta particles can be ceased by the thick plastic suit. Just gamma radiation can enter the substantial suit. It must be halted by thick dividers of lead or cement.
