Consider the following statements about atmosphere and identify the incorrect one.
The temperature decreases with height in the troposphere at a rate of 1° C per 165m.
In the stratosphere, the temperature steadily rises with height.
Ionosphere is the layer of the atmosphere responsible for reflecting radio waves back to the earth.
Mesosphere is the layer of atmosphere responsible for absorbing ultra-violet rays from sun.
4th statement is incorrect because this statement is correct regarding stratosphere. Troposphere • It is the lowest layer of our atmosphere. • We humans live in the troposphere, and nearly all weather occurs in this lowest layer. • Most clouds appear here, mainly because 99% of the water vapor in the atmosphere is found in the troposphere. Stratosphere • It extends from the top of the troposphere to about 50 km (31 miles) above the ground. • The famous ozone layer is found within the stratosphere. • Ozone molecules in this layer absorb high-energy ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun, converting the UV energy into heat and hence here temperature rises with height. • Commercial passenger jets fly in the lower stratosphere, partly because this less-turbulent layer provides a smoother ride. • The jet stream flows near the border between the troposphere and the stratosphere. Mesosphere • It extends upward to a height of about 85 km (53 miles) above our planet. • Most meteors burn up in the mesosphere. Unlike the stratosphere, temperatures once again grow colder as you rise up through the mesosphere. • The coldest temperatures in Earth's atmosphere, about -90° C (-130° F), are found near the top of this layer. Ionosphere • The ionosphere is not a distinct layer like the others mentioned above. • Instead, the ionosphere is a series of regions in parts of the mesosphere and thermosphere where high-energy radiation from the Sun has knocked electrons loose from their parent atoms and molecules. • The electrically charged atoms and molecules that are formed in this way are called ions, giving the ionosphere its name and endowing this region with some special properties.
