H- [X] Proverbs 3:19-20… 19 The Lord founded the earth by wisdom, He established the heavens by understanding.
20 By His knowledge the ocean depths were burst open,
And the clouds drip with dew.
Earth’s atmosphere has five major and several secondary layers.
E- The LORD [O] founded the earth and heavens by His wisdom and understanding. Through His omnipotent power He designed our atmosphere and earths mass so humans could live and work within its atmosphere and find resources for life from the earths crust. The earth is finetuned to exist as a planet revolving around our sun. The Bible tells us [A] that God created the earth and the heavens through His wisdom and understanding.
Troposphere. Earth’s troposphere extends from Earth’s surface to, on average, about 7.5 miles in height. It holds all the air plants need for photosynthesis and humans and animals need to breathe, and also contains about 99 percent of all water.
Stratosphere. Located between approximately 7.5 and 31 miles above Earth’s surface, the stratosphere is perhaps best known as home to Earth’s ozone layer, which protects us from the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Mesosphere. Located between about 31 and 50 miles above Earth’s surface, the mesosphere gets progressively colder with altitude.
Thermosphere. Located between about 50 and 440 miles above Earth’s surface is the thermosphere, whose lowest part contains the ionosphere.
Exosphere. Located between about 440 and 6,200 miles above Earth’s surface, Most Earth satellites orbit in the exosphere. Source See image below!
The Composition and Structure of the Earth
Core, mantle, and crust are divisions based on composition. The crust makes up less than 1 percent of Earth by mass, consisting of oceanic crust and continental crust is often more felsic rock. The mantle is hot and represents about 68 percent of Earth’s mass. Finally, the core is mostly iron metal. The core makes up about 31% of the Earth. Lithosphere and asthenosphere are divisions based on mechanical properties. The lithosphere is composed of both the crust and the portion of the upper mantle that behaves as a brittle, rigid solid. The asthenosphere is partially molten upper mantle material that behaves plastically and can flow. Earth Source See two images below!
A- Dew is just one example of the LORD’s finetuning so plants and animals could receive a watery blessing each morning. See 4th image below for earths water cycle designed by the LORD.
R- O God thank You for the universe and earth You created for our joy and Your glory.
