Atmosphere Weather Climate

Which two layers of the atmosphere contain air as warm as 25℃?

• Troposphere and Thermosphere

• Troposphere and Mesosphere

• Thermosphere and Mesosphere

• Stratosphere and Thermosphere

According to this image, the coldest temperatures in the atmosphere occur at an altitude of about ___.

• 10 km

• 35 km

• 65 km

• 80 km

The fact that global warming has only been a problem for the last 100 years or so tells us that...

• prior to 100 years ago, the greenhouse effect on the earth was too minor to be detected

• the earth moved significantly closer to the sun about 100 years ago

• people have only been pumping large quantities of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere for 100 years or so

• the movement of glaciers was a major problem for people 100 years ago.
