Atmosphere and Water Cycle

Based on the graph, what happens to the temperature in Section A as altitude (height) increases?

• The temperature is unpredictable and constantly changes.

• As altitude is increasing, the temperature is decreasing.

• The temperature is staying constant as the altitude is increasing.

• As altitude is increasing, the temperature is increasing.

Analyze layer D and choose the best answer.

• Layer D is the exosphere because temperature is decreasing.

• Layer D is the exosphere because temperature is increasing

• Layer D is the thermosphere because temperature is decreasing.

• Layer D is the thermosphere because temperature is increasing.

Describe how the troposphere and the mesosphere are alike.

• Both layers have a layer of ozone near the top.

• Temperature decreases as altitude increases in both layers

• The thickness of the layers are the same.

• Weather occurs in both layers.

Why is the ozone layer vital to life on Earth?

• It shields the Earth from ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun

• It is made up of oxygen (O2)

• Planes fly in the ozone layer

• It is where clouds are created
