Answer 1

14. Answer is E. Tropopause

15. Answer is E. Re-radiated back to space

Step-by-step explanation:

14. The atmosphere its classified in layers, the main Layers from lower to higher are called: Troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere.

The boundaries from one layer to another are called the same as the lower layer but with -pause as termination: Tropopause, Stratopause, Mesopause, and termopause.

15. Incident Solar Radiation its about 341.3 W/
`m^(2)`

about 102 W/
`m^(2)` is directly reflected, and only 0.9 W/
`m^(2)` is absorbed by plants. The remaining 239 W/
`m^(2)` is re-radiated back to space.
