What factors differentiate earth’s atmospheric layers

Geography
1 answer:
SOVA2 [1]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Temperature and height

Explanation:

The different layers of the atmosphere on earth are differentiated on  the basis of temperature and height from the ground surface. The different layers are as follows-

  1. <u>Troposphere-</u> This is the region from the ground surface to a height of about 10-12 km and in this layer, the temperature decreases with the increasing height. This decrease in temperature per km is known as the Lapse rate and its value is 6.5°C/km.
  2. <u>Stratosphere-</u> This layer ranges from 10-60 km above the ground surface and in this layer, the temperature increases with height due to the presence of the ozone layer.
  3. <u>Mesosphere-</u> This layer ranges from 60-100 km above the surface and in this region, the temperature again decreases with height.
  4. <u>Thermosphere-</u> This layer ranges from 100-600 km above the ground and in this region the temperature increases with height because of the strong incoming solar radiations.
  5. <u>Exosphere-</u> This layer ranges from 600 upto the outer space and in this region the temperature further decreases.

Earth's water is _____. mostly in lakes and rivers unequally distributed mostly found in dry climates easily accessible to peopl
olasank [31]

The correct answer is - unequally distributed.

The water on the planet is not distributed equally. Be it the salt water or the fresh water, there's big differences from place to place.

The salt water for example, is much more abundant on the Southern Hemisphere, while it is much less found on the Northern Hemisphere.

The freshwater though, has much bigger differences on much smaller spaces. While places like the northern half of South America or most of Europe are abundant with water, there's places do not have it at all, like the Arabian Peninsula. The Arabian Peninsula actually doesn't have a single stream or river that have a constant flow, while on the other hand, you have a very small country like Macedonia that has over 2,000 streams and rivers on just above 25,000 km².
