Question

The troposphere is the atmospheric layer where...

A. weather occurs.
B. ozone absorbs incoming ultraviolet radiation from space.
C. the Aurora Borealis occurs.
D. temperature increases with altitude.

Answer 1

The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere where weather occurs and the temperature decreases with increasing altitude.

Step-by-step explanation:

The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere, extending from the surface to an altitude of about 11-13 km (7-8 miles). It is where weather occurs due to the presence of water vapor and convection processes.

The temperature in the troposphere decreases steadily with increasing altitude, making it cooler at higher altitudes.
