Question

In which layer of the atmosphere all the weather and climate phenomenon take place?

• A. Mesosphere
• B. Thermosphere
• C. Troposphere
• D. Stratosphere

Answer 1

The correct option is C Troposphere

Troposphere,

The troposphere is the lowermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere. Most of the weather phenomena, systems, convection, turbulence and clouds occur in this layer, although some may extend into the lower portion of the stratosphere.

The troposphere contains almost all the atmospheric water vapour, in fact it contains about 70 to 80 per cent of the total mass of the Earth's atmosphere and 99 per cent of the water vapor. Temperature and water vapor content in the troposphere decrease rapidly with altitude and thus most of the water vapour in the troposphere is concentrated in the lower, warmer zone. Water vapor concentrations vary with latitude. They are greatest above the tropics and decrease toward the polar regions.
