Answer: (d)
- Troposphere: This is the lowest atmospheric layer and is about seven miles (11 km) thick. Most clouds and weather are found in the troposphere.
- Stratosphere: The stratosphere is found from about 7 to 30 miles (11-48 kilometres) above the Earth’s surface. In this region of the atmosphere is the ozone layer found.
- Mesosphere: The mesosphere is above the stratosphere. Here the atmosphere is very rarefied, that is, thin, and the temperature is decreasing with altitude.
- Thermosphere: The thermosphere starts at about 55 kilometres. The temperature is quite hot.
- Exosphere: The exosphere is the region beyond the thermosphere.
- Ionosphere: The ionosphere overlaps the other atmospheric layers, from above the Earth. The air is ionized by the Sun’s ultraviolet light.
