the table. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE
Exosphere Thermosphere Mesosphere Stratosphere Troposphere
Characteristics
1. Contains 75% of
air
2. Coldest layer of the
atmosphere
3. The stable and
calm layer
4. Absorbs large
amount of UV rays
5. Has very thin air​


Sagot :

Answer:

troposphere(1)

mesosphere(2)

thermospere(4)

stratosphere(3)

exosphere(5)

Explenation:

troposphere-The troposphere contains about 75% of all of the air in the atmosphere, and almost all of the water vapour (which forms clouds and rain). The decrease in temperature with height is a result of the decreasing pressure.

mesosphere-Mesosphere, altitude and temperature characteristics

The top of the mesosphere is the coldest area of the Earth's atmosphere because temperature may locally decrease to as low as 100 K (-173°C).

thermosphere-Much of the X-ray and UV radiation from the Sun is absorbed in the thermosphere.

stratosphere-The stratosphere is a very calm & stable layer.

exosphere-the "air" in the exosphere is very, very, very thin, making this layer even more space-like than the thermosphere. In fact, the air in the exosphere is constantly
