Question

The stratosphere is the layer of the atmosphere directly above the troposphere. How would you characterize the stability of stratosphere

Answer 1

This layer is found above the troposphere and below the mesosphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The stratosphere is characterized by the a stable and warmer and a less dense air that is cool and thus there is a very little mixing and is different from those of the other layers.

• It is stratified in terms of the temperature layers as a result of the absorption of the rays of the sun.

• Found at an altitude of about 33,000 feet, temperature varies with the seasons.

• Has a single-celled circulation that spans for the tropics to the poles and its predominantly waves driven.

• A possible life of bacteria can be found in this layer.

• It was discovered in 1902 by the Léon Teisserenc de Bort from France by the presence of the isothermal layer at the 11–14 km.
