Analysis
 What are the five layers of the
atmosphere? Estimate the height
of each layer.
 Describe the graph for each layer.
 In which layer is temperature
increasing with altitude?
 In which layer is temperature
decreasing with altitude?
 Observe the whole graph. What is
the basis for the division of the
