Chapter 31, Problem 18TE

In which atmospheric layer does all our weather occur?

To determine

The atmospheric layer where all the weather occurs.

Answer to Problem 18TE

The troposphere is the atmospheric layer where all the weather occurs.

Explanation of Solution

The Earth has an atmosphere that is one of the important favorable things on Earth to survive. From bottom to top in the atmosphere, the layers are categorized based on some of the characteristics that are found in that range of atmosphere.

The bottommost layer of the atmosphere is the troposphere and it is in the range of 10 km. About 99% of the water vapor in the atmosphere found here, so most clouds appeared here. Air pressure drops, and temperatures get cold as a person climbs higher in the troposphere.

The troposphere is followed by the stratosphere in the order of moving up from ground level. The ozone layer is within this atmospheric layer and it protects humans and other beings from Sun’s U.V harmful radiations.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the troposphere is the atmospheric layer where all the weather occurs.
