Which choices are layers of the atmosphere?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Mesosphere

Stratosphere

Thermosphere

Troposphere

Exosphere

Explanation:

The exosphere refers to the farthest region of the atmosphere that gradually fades into space.

The troposphere is the lowest layer of atmosphere. It is the layer where weather changes occur.

The thermosphere is right above the mesosphere but just below the exosphere. It is the layer where photoionization/photodissociation of molecules occurs thereby creating ions. This largely owes to interaction of molecules in this layer with ultraviolet radiation.

The stratosphere is composed of gases. Prominent among them is ozone which serves as a blanket against the sun's ionizing radiation.

The mesosphere lies above the stratosphere but just below the thermosphere. Temperature decreases steadily with height in the mesosphere.
