Question

Dan described two layers of Earth's atmosphere.

Layer A: Allows long-distance radio communication
Layer B: Separates outer space from Earth's atmosphere
Which statement is most likely true? (5 points)

Layer A is the thermosphere and Layer B is the exosphere.

Layer A is the exosphere and Layer B is the thermosphere.

Layer A is the troposphere and Layer B is the stratosphere.

Layer A is the stratosphere and Layer B is the troposphere.

Answer 1

There are following layers in earth atmosphere

a) Troposhere: the innermost layer or lowest part of atmosphere

b)stratosphere: next to troposhere

c)mesosphere:above stratosphere, here lowest temperature is observed

d)Thermosphere and Ionosphere: This layer allows long distance radio communication

e)Exosphere: this layer separates outer space from earth's surface.

Answer 2

The layer A is the thermosphere and the layer B is the exosphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the five layers of the atmosphere of the Earth is called thermosphere. It is the fourth layer of the Earth's atmosphere and is situated below the exosphere and above the mesosphere. The thermosphere is the biggest layer of the Earth's atmosphere, and the charged particles found in the thermosphere makes it easier for long distance communication through radio.

The exosphere is the topmost layer of the Earth's atmosphere, here the atmosphere merges with the interplanetary space and thins out. It is situated directly above the thermosphere. It is the layer, which distinguishes Earth's atmosphere from outer space.
