Earth's Atmosphere Layers

Earth's Atmosphere Layers: The Earth's atmosphere is divided into 5 layers. It is thickest near the surface and thins out with height until it eventually merges with space. Moving upward from ground level, these layers are named the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. The exosphere gradually fades away into the realm of interplanetary space.

1. Troposphere: The troposphere starts at the Earth's surface and extends 8 to 14.5 kilometers high. This part of the atmosphere is the most dense. Almost all weather is in this region.
2. Stratosphere: The stratosphere starts just above the troposphere and extends to 50 kilometers  high. Commercial passenger jets fly in the lower stratosphere, partly because this less-turbulent layer provides a smoother ride. The jet stream flows near the border between the troposphere and the stratosphere. The ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters the solar ultraviolet radiation, is in this layer.
3. Mesosphere: The mesosphere starts just above the stratosphere and extends to 85 kilometers  high. Most meteors burn up in the mesosphere. Unlike the stratosphere, temperatures once again drop as you rise up through the mesosphere. The coldest temperatures in Earth's atmosphere, about -90° C (-130° F), are found near the top of this layer. 
4. Thermosphere: The thermosphere starts just above the mesosphere and extends to 600 kilometers high. Aurora and satellites occur in this layer.
5. Exosphere: The atmosphere merges into space in the extremely thin exosphere. This is the upper limit of our atmosphere. The exosphere is the most distant atmospheric region from Earth's surface. In the exosphere, an upward travelling molecule can escape to space (if it is moving fast enough) or be pulled back to Earth by gravity with little probability of colliding with another molecule. The exosphere is a transitional zone between Earth's atmosphere and interplanetary space.

Bezwada Wilson and TM Krishna wins Ramon Magsaysay Award 2016

Human rights activist Bezwada Wilson and south Indian classical musician T.M. Krishna have been conferred the Ramon Magsaysay Award for 2016 on 27th July, along with Philippine ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales, Indonesian charity organisation Dompet Dhuafa, Laos’ free ambulance service Vientiane Rescue and Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers.  

Bezwada Wilson, the national convenor of the Safai Karmachari Andolan (SKA), has been named an awardee for “asserting the inalienable right to a life of human dignity,” while Krishna has received the award for “social inclusiveness in culture”, Wilson will be felicitated for “asserting the inalienable right to a life of human dignity”.  50-year-old Wilson, born into a dalit family involved in manual scavenging in Kolar Gold Fields township in Karnataka, was the first in his family to pursue a higher education. "Treated as an outcast in school and acutely aware of his family's lot, Bezwada was filled with great anger; but he would later channel this anger to a crusade to eradicate manual scavenging," the citation said.

TM Krishna, born to a privileged, Brahmin family in Chennai, was trained from the age of six in the aristocratic Carnatic music under masters of the form. The other Indian awardee, 40-year-old Krishna has been hailed in the citation as "showing that music can indeed be a deeply transformative force in personal lives and society itself." "Though he earned a degree in economics, Krishna chose to be an artist and quickly rose to become a highly-admired concert performer of Carnatic classical music," his citation said.

Among other Indians to win the award in the past are Sanjiv Chaturvedi (2015), Anshu Gupta (2015), Harish Hande (2012), Deepa Joshi (2009), P. Sainath (2007), V. Shantha (2005), Aruna Roy (2000), Kiran Bedi (1994), Ela Bhatt (1977), Baba Amte (1985) and Vinoba Bhave (1958). The Ramon Magsaysay Award is one of Asia's most prestigious awards celebrating leadership in Asia. The awardees are presented with a certificate and a medallion with an embossed image of Ramon Magsaysay, former President of the Phillippines after whom the award is named. The awards will be presented on August 31 at a formal ceremony in Manila.

Hillary Clinton makes history as first woman US President nominee

Hillary Clinton makes history as the first woman to become presidential nominee of a major US political party; she was formally installed as the party nominee at the Democratic convention to take on Donald Trump. Democrat Hillary Clinton made history as the first woman to become the presidential nominee of a major US political party. Hillary's nomination has certainly shattered one of the last remaining glass ceilings in American politics. The former first lady, New York senator and secretary of state was formally installed as the party nominee to take on Donald Trump on an emotional night at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia. 

Clinton will formally accept the nomination on Thursday night, before embarking on an intense campaign with polls showing her clash with Republican nominee Trump is, for now, too close to call.  South Dakota put Clinton over the top of the 2,382 delegates needed to win the nomination. The roll call will continue through the full roster of states and territories.

Earthquake Waves

Earthquake in simple words is shaking of the earth. It is a natural event. It is caused due to release of energy, which generates waves that travel in all directions. 

• The point where the energy is released is called the focus of an earthquake, alternatively, it is called the hypocentre. 
• The energy waves travelling in different directions reach the surface. The point on the surface, nearest to the focus, is called epicentre.
• All natural earthquakes take place in the lithosphere or earth consisting of solid rocks. An instrument called ‘seismograph’ records the waves reaching the surface.
• The earthquake events are scaled either according to the magnitude or intensity of the shock. The magnitude scale is known as the Richter scale.

Earthquake Waves: There are Three types of Earthquake Waves. They are called P-waves, S-waves and surface waves. 

1. P-waves or ‘primary waves’ move faster and are the first to arrive at the surface. They travel through gaseous, liquid and solid materials. 
2. S-waves or secondary waves arrive at the surface with some time lag.  
3. Surface waves are the last to report on seismograph. These waves are more destructive. They cause displacement of rocks, and hence, the collapse of structures occurs.
