Earth's Atmosphere, Heat Transfer, and Air Currents (2)

The correct order of the layers of the atmosphere are . . .

• stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and troposphere

• mesosphere, troposphere, thermosphere, stratosphere

• troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere

• thermosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, stratosphere

The layers of the atmosphere are set by changes in . . .

• wind

• gases

• ozone

• temperature

The mesosphere . . .

• is where weather occurs

• is the coldest

• contains the ozone layer

• is where satellites orbit

The troposphere . . .

• is where weather occurs

• gets warmer as you go higher up

• is where meteors burn up

• contains the ozone layer
