c. Mesosphere
d. Thermosphere
e. Exosphere

Layers of the Atmosphere in details

(a) Troposphere

➢ This is the first layer of the atmosphere. It extends to a height of 18 km at the equator and 8 km
at the poles.
➢ In this layer temperature decreases with height. This is due to the fact that the density of air
decreases with height and so the heat absorbed is less. It contains more than 90% of gases in
the atmosphere.
➢ Since most of the water vapour form clouds in this layer, all weather changes occur in the
troposphere("tropo" means "change").
➢ The height at which the temperature stops decreasing is called tropopause. Here the
temperature may be as low as -58 degree Celsius.

(b) Stratosphere

➢ This is the second layer of the atmosphere. It extends from the tropopause to about 50 km.
➢ Temperature increases due to the absorption of the ultravioletradiations of the Sun by Ozone
present in this layer. The temperature slowly increases to 4-degree celsius.
➢ This layer is free from clouds and associated weather phenomena. Hence, it provides ideal flying
conditions for large jet planes.

(c) Mesosphere

➢ Above the stratosphere lies the Mesosphere.

➢ The mesosphere extends to a height of 80 km.
➢ Here the temperature decreases again, falling as low as - 90-degree celsius.
➢ The end of this layer is known as the mesopause.

(d) Thermospher

➢ This layer extends to a height of about 640 km

➢ This increase in temperature is due to the fact that the gas molecules in this layer absorb the X-
rays and Ultraviolet radiation of the Sun.
➢ The electrically charged gas molecules of the thermosphere reflect radio waves from the Earth
back into the space. Thus, this layer also helps in long distance communication.
➢ The thermosphere also protects us from meteors and obsolete satellite because its high
Temperature burns up nearly all the debris coming towards the Earth.

(e) Exosphere

➢ The exosphere extends beyond the thermosphere up to 960km.

➢ It gradually merges with interplanetary space.
➢ The temperatures in this layer range from about 300 degree Celsius to 1650 degree Celsius.
➢ This layer contains only traces of gases like oxygen, nitrogen, argon and helium because the
lack of gravity allows the gas molecules to escape easily into space.

➢ Composition of the Atmosphere

a. Nitrogen - 78%
b. Oxygen - 21%
c. Argon -0.93%
d. Carbondioxide - 0.03%
e. Neon - 0.0018%
f. Helium - 0.0005%
g. Ozone - 0.0006%
h. Hydrogen - 0.00005%

• Deposition of materials by sea and river is called alluvium and the soil formed due to
deposition of alluvium is called as alluvial soil.
• This type of soil mainly found in the Indo-Ganga and Brahmaputra plain i.e. the whole
northern plain and in some parts of the river basin in the south and some plateau
region.
• This soil is also found in the deltas of the Mahanadi, Godavari, Cauvery and Krishna.
• Alluvial soil can be broadly categorised in two types i.e. New alluvial soil and old alluvial
soil.
• Old alluvial soils are found in slightly elevated areas far away from the river and are
clayey and sticky.
• The new alluvial soil is found in the floodplain of the river and is much fertile in
comparison to the old alluvial soil.
• Crops Grown: Alluvial soil is suitable for the rabi and kharif crop like
cereals, cotton, oilseeds and sugarcane.

2. Regur or Black soil

• The regur or black soils have developed extensively upon the Lava Plateaus of
Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh mainly Malwa and are formed due to volcanic
activities.
• These soils are very fertile and contain a high percentage of lime and a moderate
amount of potash.
• The type of soil is especially suited for the cultivation of cotton and hence sometimes
called ‘black cotton soil.’
Crops Grown: Cotton, Jowar, Wheat, Linseed, Gram, Fruit and Vegetable.

3. Red Soil

• Red soils develop on granite and geneses rocks under low rainfall condition i.e. due to
weathering of the metamorphic rocks.
• These soils are red in colour due to the high concentration of Iron Oxide.
• These soils are friable and medium fertile and found mainly in almost whole of Tamil
Nadu, South-eastern Karnataka, North-eastern and South-eastern Madhya Pradesh,
Jharkhand the major parts of Orissa, and the Hills and Plateaus of North-east India.
• These soils are deficient in Phosphoric acid, organic matter and nitrogenous material.
• Crops Grown: Wheat, Rice, Millet's, Pulses.

• Laterite is a kind of clayey rock or soil formed under high temperature and high
rainfall and with alternate dry and wet period,.
• Laterite and lateritic soils are found in South Maharashtra, the Western Ghats in Kerala
and Karnataka, at places in Odisha, small parts of Chottanagpur and in some parts of
Assam, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and in western West Bengal (particularly in Birbhum
district).
• Crops Grown:
• This type of soil is unsuitable for agriculture due to the high content ofacidity and
inability to retain moisture.

5. Desert soil

This type of soils found in Rajasthan, Haryana and the South Punjab, and are sandy.

• In the absence of sufficient wash by rainwater, soils have become saline and rather unfit
for cultivation.
• In spite of that cultivation can be carried on with the help of modern irrigation.
• Wheat, bajra, groundnut, etc. can be grown in this soil.
• This type of soil is rich in Phosphates and Calcium but deficient in Nitrogen and humus.

6. Mountain Soil

• Soil found in higher altitude on the mountain is called as Mountain soil.

• The characteristics of this type of soil are changed according to the altitudes.
• This type of soil is suitable for the cultivation of potatoes, fruits, tea coffee and spices
and wheat.
