The Thermosphere is located between 80 and 400 km above the mesopause. It contains electrically charged particles known as ions. It is therefore known as Ionosphere. The temperature here starts increasing with heights. Radio waves transmitted from the earth are reflected back to the earth by this layer. The International Space Station and other satellites orbit in this layer. Auroras are observed in the lower parts of this layer.
Wind is an air movement having both direction and speed. Depending on the cause of the winds, they can blow in many directions.The Easterly winds blow from east to west whereas the westerly winds blow from west to east.
Salinity is directly positively related to seawater density.On an average, seawater density increases with increasing salinity and vice versa.E.g. Density of pure water is 1.00 g/cm3 and density of water with 35% salinity is 1.028 g/cm3.
