Select the list that best describes the features of the tropospheric layer of the Earth's atmosphere which allows weather to occur there.

• Highest layer of the atmosphere, contains almost 10% of the atmosphere's total mass, temperature decreases with altitude, and where no water vapor, clouds or weather are found

• Lowest layer of the atmosphere, contains almost 90% of the atmosphere's total mass, temperature increases with altitude, and where no water vapor, clouds, or weather are found

• Lowest layer of the atmosphere, contains almost 90% of the atmosphere's total mass, temperature decreases with altitude, and where all water vapor, clouds and weather are found

• Lowest layer of the atmosphere, contains almost 70% of the atmosphere's total mass, temperature decreases with altitude, and where all water vapor, clouds and weather are found
