  "term": "Atmosphere Vertical Layer",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "1. The atmosphere can be divided into a number of layers according to its mixing or chemical characteristics, generally determined by its thermal properties (temperature).\n\n2. The envelope of gas surrounding the Earth changes from the ground up. Five distinct layers have been identified using thermal characteristics (temperature changes), chemical composition, movement, and density. Each of the layers are bounded by \"pauses\" where the greatest changes in thermal characteristics, chemical composition, movement, and density occur.",
