Troposphere – This is the densest layer and where weather events occur
Stratosphere – This is where the ozone layer is found. Some high altitude aircraft cruise in this layer.
Mesosphere – Temperatures drop with altitude in this layer
Thermosphere – This is where most of the meteorites that enter the earth’s atmosphere burn up. This layer takes up most of the Uv and X-rays from the sun. Most satellites orbiting earth are in this layer
Exosphere – almost akin to space due to the thinness of the layer. Molecules in the layer often escape into space

A ‘pause’ is a transition between the above-mentioned distinct layers. The tropopause, for example, occurs between the troposphere and the stratosphere and the stratopause between the stratosphere and mesosphere and thermopause is found between thermosphere and exosphere.
(3)
A temperature inversion is a rise in temperatures with altitude in a layer in the atmosphere. One layer exhibiting temperature inversion is the stratosphere. This is due to the ozone layer that absorbs UV light. The upper ozone absorbs most of the UV light, than lower ozone, exciting the molecules and making the higher altitudes in the layer to be warmer.

The ozone layer protects life on earth from the high energy UV radiation from the sun. UV is capable of causing double-stranded break on DNA resulting in genetic mutations on organisms. Most of these would be lethal. The Ozone absorbs most of the UV before it reaches earth's surface. Ozone is formed when an oxygen molecule reacts with another oxygen atom to form an O₃. The oxygen atoms are made from the splitting of an oxygen molecule by UV light.

The density of the clay plate is 1970 kg m⁻³
the problem we are dealing with is related to density, which is the mass of a unit volume of a material substance. The formula for calculating density is d = M/V, where d is density, M is mass, and V is volume. Since we are provided with the volume of the clay plate which is 30.0cubic centimeters and the mass of the plate which is 59.1grams
so,V= 30 cm⁻³=3x 10-5 m and M= 59.1grams= 0.0591 kg
Therefore, the density of the plate is: M/V
=>d = 1970 kg m⁻³

Answer:
<em>The correct option is C) C-shaped cartilage rings </em>
Explanation:
The trachea is commonly known as the wind-pipe. The trachea can be described as about a 4 inch long passage from which the air travels into the bronchi and lungs. The pathway of the trachea is kept open by C- shaped cartilages which are lined all over in the trachea. The C-shaped cartilages protects as well as maintain the shape of the wind-pipe. The rigidity of the trachea arises from the C-shaped cartilages.
