Atmospheric Air Circulation
The atmosphere contains gases such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and ozone, along with suspended particles like water vapor. Weather phenomena primarily occur in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere.
Principles of Air Movement
- Warm air expands, its density decreases, and it rises, creating an area of low pressure.
