Why does the troposphere extend 8 km near the poles but about 18km at the equator?

Answers

Answered by kimtaehyung1730

Answer:

This difference in height is because of constant convection taking place at the equator. Convection forces the tropospheric levels to be high as high as 18 kms at the equator and constant sinking of air and subsidence forces it to be only 8 kms.
