Answer:

1.The different layers of the atmosphere are:-troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere.

2.A gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants is known as global warming.

3.Mountaineers carry an oxygen cylinder along with them. It is because when they climb mountains, as altitude increases, the amount of oxygen level in the atmospheric air decreases as trees are not found at higher altitudes. As a result, mountaineers suffer from dizziness.

4.A continent is one of Earth's seven main divisions of land. The continents are, from largest to smallest: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia
