ATMOSPHERE – ABSTRACT
The atmosphere is a layer of gases that surrounds the earth. The principal
ingredients are nitrogen, oxygen, the noble gas argon, steam as well as carbon
dioxide. There are even further trace gases which matter only a very small set of
the atmosphere but can influence the life on the earth.
The atmosphere is divided up into three zones. The troposphere corresponds to a
height of something over 10 km. The weather happens mainly here and up to this
height the temperature decreases continuously -up to -55° degrees Celsius. The
tropopause in which the temperatures remain constant lies between the
troposphere and the next zone. The temperature rises to approx. 0° degrees
Celsius in the stratosphere being over it again.

The air gets thinner and thinner the higher you go, 90% of all the molecules in the
atmosphere are in the troposphere.
Volcano ash is formed during explosive volcanic eruptions and may rise over 40 km,
penetrating the stratosphere. Ozone is present in low concentrations throughout the
Earth´s atmosphere. In total, ozone makes up only 0.6 parts per million of the
atmosphere. Ozone is important to life because it absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation
from the sun. Recent investigations of the ozone layer have discovered areas of severe
thinning located primarily at the South Pole.
The stratopause in approx. 50 km height is almost the center of the atmosphere which is
the numeric between two layers. The mesosphere which approximately reaches to up to
the height of 80 km starts over it. The mesopause lies in this height. The thermosphere
which reaches to approximately 500 km height is over it. The exosphere follows - the
furthest of the four sphere zones.

Is it our duty to
protect the
rights of future
generations?
How can we
prevent climate
change?
What is corporate
responsibility?
What is nature?
Discussion-plan:
Naturale disasters
Is there a possible relation
between climate
change and natural
disasters?
How is human
intervention
responsible for
natural disasters?
What reason do
we have to care
about future
generations?

SWefel / Wasser / Feur und Dampf
Wollen halten einen Kampf,
Dikker Nebel dringt gedikkt /
Licht und Luft ist fast erstikkt.
Drauf der Donner brummt und kracht /
Rasselt / rollet hin mit Macht /
Prallet / knallet grausamlich /
Puffet / sumsend endigt sich.

Drauf die starken Winde bald
Sausen / brausen / mit Gewalt
Reissen / werfen / Wirbelduft /
Mengen Wasser / Erde / Luft.
Bald das Blitzen wieder kommt /
und der Donner rollend brummt:
Bald hereilt ein Windesbraus /
und dem Wetter macht garaus.

Plötzlich blikt der Blitz herein /
Macht das finstre feurig seyn /
Swefelklumpen / Strahlenlicht /
Rauch und Dampf herein mit bricht.

May one still
carry on as always
if one knows that
these attitudes
contribute to the
climatic change?
Is it fair that future
generations must
suffer what previous
generations have
caused?
How far does
responsibility go?
Discussions plan:
Climatic change – Can
morality be a question
of survival?
Can all people be made
discharged their duties morally
because of the climate change
and are they encouraged to
reassess their behavior and to
change their behavior if
necessary?
Should we claim
threshold countries
to slow down their
emerging markets?
Is there an
individual
responsibility?
