Determine the relationship of altitude and temperature in each layer. (2 points each) Example. As the altitude increases the temperature also increases. 1. Troposphere 2. Stratosphere 3. Mesosphere 4. Thermosphere 5. Exosphere​

Sagot :

1. Troposphere

Temperature decreases as altitude increases.

2. Stratosphere

Temperature generally increases as altitude increases due to the increasing absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer.

3. Mesosphere

Temperature decreases as altitude increases, to as low as -93°C.

4. Thermosphere

Temperature increases as altitude increases to as high as 1,727°C.

5. Exosphere

Atmospheric temperature becomes nearly a constant above this altitude.
