Question

Which statement below about atmospheric layers is correct? The stratosphere is located from about 50 to 80 km and has a decreasing temperature with altitude. The mesosphere is the atmospheric layer where weather primarily occurs. The mesosphere contains a protective layer of ozone that absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The troposphere is the atmospheric layer where weather primarily occurs. The stratosphere has a temperature that decreases to about -90C at its highest altitude of about 80 km.

Explanation / Answer

out of the four layrers of earth,

first layer troposphere, depth varies from 8km to 16km

and greatest depths occure at the tropics where earm tempertaures causes vertical expansion of the lower atmosphere.

above this troposphere, stratosphere occurs at an avg altitude of 11km to 50 km

so cocorect answer among those option is option 5.

i,e the troposphere is the atmospheric layer where weather primarliy occurs
