Question

1. Explain the relationship between temperature and pressure in each layer of the atmosphere.
How do these factors vary according to altitude?
2. What are the functions of the pauses with regards to the first three layers of the atmosphere​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The troposphere is heated from the ground, so temperature decreases with altitude. Because warm air rises and cool air sinks, the troposphere is unstable. In the stratosphere, temperature increases with altitude. The stratosphere contains the ozone layer, which protects the planet from the Sun's harmful UV radiation.
2. The atmosphere can be divided into layers based on its temperature, as shown in the figure below. These layers are the troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere and the thermosphere. A further region, beginning about 500 km above the Earth's surface, is called the exosphere.
