A gas or aerosol that occurs at a concentration threatening the well-being of living organisms

the lowest region of the atmosphere, extending from the earth's surface to a height of about 3.7–6.2 miles (6–10 km), which is the lower boundary of the stratosphere.

the layer of the earth's atmosphere above the troposphere, extending to about 32 miles (50 km) above the earth's surface (the lower boundary of the mesosphere).

the region of the earth's atmosphere above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere, between about 30 and 50 miles (50 and 80 km) in altitude.

the region of the atmosphere above the mesosphere and below the height at which the atmosphere ceases to have the properties of a continuous medium.

the outermost region of a planet's atmosphere.

the layer of the earth's atmosphere that contains a high concentration of ions and free electrons and is able to reflect radio waves. It lies above the mesosphere and extends from about 50 to 600 miles (80 to 1,000 km) above the earth's surface.

water in liquid, frozen or freezing form (rain, drizzle, snow, ice pellets, hail and freezing rain) that falls from clouds under the influence of gravity to Earth’s surface

turn from liquid into vapor

introduce (a liquid) into something

the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.

give off water vapor through the stomata

a visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere, typically high above the ground

water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it

Explanation / Answer

Answers:

H. ATMOSPHERE - the envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet

L. POLLUTANT- A gas or aerosol that occurs at a concentration threatening the well-being of living organisms

F. TROPOSPHERE- the lowest region of the atmosphere, extending from the earth's surface to a height of about 3.7–6.2 miles (6–1 0 km), which is the lower boundary of the stratosphere.

S. STRATOSPHERE- the layer of the earth's atmosphere above the troposphere, extending to about 32 miles (50 km) above the earth's surface (the lower boundary of the mesosphere).

K. MESOSPHERE- the region of the earth's atmosphere above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere, between about 30 and 50 miles (50 and 80 km) in altitude.
