Answer:

Mesosphere

Stratosphere

Trophosphere and Mesosphere

Stratosphere

Thermosphere

Explanation:

The Stratosphere

This extends upwards from the tropopause to about 50 km. It contains much of the ozone in the atmosphere. The increase in temperature with height occurs because of absorption of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun by this ozone.

Troposphere

Earth’s troposphere extends from Earth’s surface to, on average, about 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) in height.

Mesosphere

Located between about 50 and 80 kilometers (31 and 50 miles) above Earth’s surface, the mesosphere gets progressively colder with altitude. In fact, the top of this layer is the coldest place found within the Earth system, with an average temperature of about minus 85 degrees Celsius (minus 120 degrees Fahrenheit).

Thermosphere

Located between about 80 and 700 kilometers (50 and 440 miles) above Earth’s surface is the thermosphere, whose lowest part contains the ionosphere. In this layer, temperatures increase with altitude due to the very low density of molecules found here.

Answer:

Global warming intensifies water cycle

Explanation:

Global warming can dramatically intensify the water cycle because this phenomenon is associated with an increase in temperature, thereby a higher amount of water is evaporated into the air and a higher amount of ice is melted at the poles. Warmer atmospheric air will have a higher amount of water vapor, increasing the frequency and intensity of rainstorms. In consequence, global warming can significantly increase the probability of flooding in coastal communities.
