Atmosphère terrestreLatmosphère terrestre est l'enveloppe gazeuse, entourant la Terre, que l'on appelle air. L'air sec se compose à 78,087 % de diazote, à 20,95 % de dioxygène, à 0,93 % d'argon, à 0,041 % de dioxyde de carbone, et de traces d'autres gaz. L'atmosphère protège la vie sur Terre en filtrant le rayonnement solaire ultraviolet, en réchauffant la surface par la rétention de chaleur (effet de serre) et en réduisant partiellement les écarts de température entre le jour et la nuit.
Built environmentThe term built environment refers to human-made conditions and is often used in architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, public health, sociology, and anthropology, among others. These curated spaces provide the setting for human activity and were created to fulfill human desires and needs. The term can refer to a plethora of components including the traditionally associated buildings, cities, public infrastructure, transportation, open space, as well as more conceptual components like farmlands, dammed rivers, wildlife management, and even domesticated animals.
Earth observationEarth observation (EO) is the gathering of information about the physical, chemical, and biological systems of the planet Earth. It can be performed via remote-sensing technologies (Earth observation satellites) or through direct-contact sensors in ground-based or airborne platforms (such as weather stations and weather balloons, for example). According to the Group on Earth Observations (GEO), the concept encompasses both "space-based or remotely-sensed data, as well as ground-based or in situ data".
