    The document contains a 10 question quiz about the atmosphere. The questions cover topics like the layer containing weather (troposphere), how pressure decreases with altitude, products of oxygen photodissociation (atomic oxygen), ozone being an allotrope of oxygen, acid rain coming from sulfur compounds, carbon dioxide absorbing infrared radiation, and nitrogen not dissociating in the upper atmosphere due to its high bond energy. The answer key is provided.
