Question

Which one of the following is not a layer of the atmosphere

Answer 1

Name: Troposphere

Temperature: normal to 0 degrees temperature

air pressure: decreases with increasing altitude

composition: clouds and weather, Oxygen and Nitrogen

altitude:10-15km thick above the Earth’s surface

special attribute: lowest layer

 

Name: Stratosphere

Temperature: 0 degrees Celsius

air pressure: decreases with increasing altitude

composition: Ozone layer

altitude: 11 – 48 km above the Earth’s surface

special attribute: Ozone layer is found which absorbs UV rays from the Sun, second layer

 

Name: Mesosphere

Temperature: -90 degrees Celsius

air pressure: decreases with increasing altitude

composition:atmosphere is rarefied and thick enough to delay the fall of the meteors

altitude: 50-60km Earth’s surface

special attribute: very thin layered

 

Name: Thermosphere

Temperature: Thousand degrees Celsius

air pressure: decreases with increasing altitude

composition: gases are stratified

altitude: 60-80km above the Earth’s surface

special attribute: Auroras and satellites occurs in this layer

 

Name: Ionosphere

Temperature: negative Thousand degrees Celsius

air pressure: decreases with increasing altitude

composition: abundant layers of electrons and ionized atoms and molecules

altitude:80-465km above the Earth’s surface

special attribute: makes radio communication possible
