âGypsumâs main benefit for our farm is to improve soil structure and plant health, which in turn gives us better yields,â he says. âFor the cost, it gives us a good value for our economic returnâabout 10 to 20%.â
By understanding the way temperature changes with altitude, we can learn a lot about how the atmosphere works. For example, the reason that weather takes place in the lowest layer is that the Earth's surface is the atmosphere's primary heat source.n some layers, temperature increases with altitude and in others it decreases. The temperature gradient in each layer is determined by the heat source of the layer. The different temperature gradients in each of the four main layers create the thermal structure of the atmosphere.
oth ground-level ozone and depletion of the ozone layer cause environmental and health concerns. Ground-level ozone is a pollutant that is harmful to organisms when it is breathed in. Ozone in the troposphere can also cause an increase in surface temperatures.
