  • Q5
    The image shows the variation of temperatures in various layers of the atmosphere. What is true for the observed temperature variation?
    Question Image
    The mesosphere is hot except in the upper region.
    As altitude increases, the temperature decreases in the troposphere.
    The stratosphere is cold except in the lower region.
    As altitude increases, the temperature decreases in the thermosphere.

  • Q6
    Jeff writes a list of atmospheric layers in decreasing order of atmospheric pressure. Did Jeff accurately sequence the atmospheric layers?
    Question Image
    No. The pull of gravity increases when moving from the surface of Earth.
    No, the temperature of the layer decreases when moving farther from the surface of Earth, which causes a higher pressure.
    Yes. The temperature of the layer increases when moving farther from the surface of Earth, which causes a lower pressure.
    Yes. The pull of gravity decreases when moving farther from the surface of Earth.
