Answer:

Mesosphere lies in between 50 to 80 km above the earth surface and due to low density gases escape easily and hence it is colder.

Explanation:

Mesosphere has the capacity to not absorb the infrared radiation that's why the gases reflected from the earth surface escape the layer of mesopause and goes inside the thermosphere.

In the thermosphere, even the minute atoms of gases ca be absorbed by the layer which increases the air temperature and the air rises up hence making thermosphere as the hottest layer in the atmosphere.

Yakvenalex [24]

The correct answer is - Greenhouse effect.

The Greenhouse effect is a process in which certain type of gasses in the lower atmosphere manage to trap the heat that is radiated from the surface of the planet.

The gases that are considered to be greenhouse gases are able to perform such a thing, despite being relatively low in amount compared to other gases, because they have much more complex molecular structure.

The molecular structure of this gases enables them to trap the heat, or rather to not allow to leave the atmosphere and return it back toward the surface, thus having huge effect on the climate.

Greenhouse gases are the carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, nitrous oxide.

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The teacher is demonstrating a convergent plate boundary.

Explanation:

A is correct because this type of boundary is characterized by two or more plates moving toward each other and pressing each other, with the smaller ones gradually moving below the larger ones.

B is not correct because the earthquakes are a consequence of the plate boundaries and their activity.

C is not correct because the equator is simply an imagined line that is separating the northern and southern hemispheres.

D is not correct because the divergent plate boundaries are the ones where the plates are moving away from each other.
