Answer: Atmosphere can be broadly divided into four distinct layers based on their altitude and temperature.

These layers are- Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, and Thermosphere.

1) Troposphere ( extends upto 18 km from earth surface)- a layer that is closest to the surface of earth. It is called zone of weather as all the weather phenomenon ( such as storm, wind, precipitation, formation of clouds) occur in this layer. Temperature decreases with altitude in this layer.

2) Stratosphere (extends from 18 km to 50 km) - a layer above troposphere, where temperature increases with increase in altitude.

A boundary between stratosphere and mesosphere where temperature remains constant as elevation increases  is called Stratopause.

3) Mesosphere (extends 50 km upto 85 km) - a layer above stratosphere, where temperature decreases with increase in altitude.

A boundary between mesosphere and thermosphere, where temperature remains constant as elevation increases  is called Mesopause.

4) Thermosphere (extends from 85 km upto 600 km)-  a layer above mesosphere, where temperature again increases with increase in altitude. It is an extremely hot layer because of absorption of X rays and UV rays.

Thus, correct match for the question is-  

Troposphere -A) Layer closest to the Earth where all weather occurs.

Mesosphere- E) begins between 50-60km and decreases in temperature as elevation increases.

Mesopause- C) temperature remains constant as elevation increases.

Stratosphere -B) temperature increases as elevation increases.

Stratopause -D) temperature remains at a constant zero degrees Celsius as elevation increases.

Aaron leaves one city at noon. He has to be at another city 186km away at 3:00p.m. The speed limit the entire way is 65 km/h. Ca
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Since Aaron left the city at 12pm (noon) and needs to be arrive at the next city at 3pm he has exactly 3 hours. Since he is going 65 km/h we need to divide 185 by 65 to find out how long it will take for Aaron to travel 185km.

186 / 65 =
2.86

Aaron will arive at the next city in 2.86 hours meaning he will not arrive late and will arive on time. I hope this helps you :D

What do repeated trails in an experiment allow scientists to do?
fredd [130]

Answer:

Explanation:

When we do multiple trials of the same experiment, we can make sure that our results are consistent and not altered by random events. Multiple trials can be done at one time. If we were testing a new fertilizer, we could test it on lots of individual plants at the same time.

A 59kg child starting from rest slides down a water slide with a vertical height of 5.0m. what is the child's speed halfway down
KIM [24]
<span>EP (potential energy) = mgy -> (59)(9.8)(-5) = -2,891
   EP + EK (kinetic energy) = 0; but rearranging it for EK makes it EK = -EP, such that EK = 2891 when plugged in.
   EK = 0.5mv^2, but can also be v = sqrt(2EK/m).
   Plugging that in for sqrt((2 * 2891)/59), we get 9.9 m/s^2 with respect to significant figures.</span>
