• The warmest air is found in the mesosphere.

• The ozone layer is in the stratosphere.

• The troposphere is the closest layer to the sun.

What is "upwelling"?

• when wind near a shore pushes surface water away, nutrient rich cold water rises from the depths
• water rises from springs at the bottom of lakes
• it is when cold water sinks in the Norwegian Sea
• It is when the Coriolis effect makes currents go around in a circle
