As Back to School Activities start to come into play, the simple fascination with the world around us may land at the forefront of this school year's Earth Science studies. Among the many things about the Earth we often ponder, the air has to be the most important of all. The earth's atmosphere has five distinct layers—Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere—of air that support, protect, and one that remains unstudied for the most part.

A wise and sagely woman once posited that heaven is a place on a Earth. And if that’s true, then hell is just two exits down on the left. Oh, it exists, do not doubt it. It’s real, it’s right here and I have the goddamn pictures to prove it. Literally. These are images damned by God.

Now there are also both masters level and doctorate (PhD) programs offered in ecology. A student who already possesses an undergraduate ecology degree or a degree in a related scientific field might want to teach, conduct field research, or simply be interested in having more knowledge about the field.
