Answer 2

D. Stratosphere

Oh, so close! But no cigar. The correct answer is actually C. Mesopause. Don't worry though, it's easy to mix those layers up. Just remember, in the mesopause, the temperatures rise faster than gas prices on a long weekend. Keep up the good work, my friend!

Answer 3

No, the correct answer is the B. Mesosphere. In the Mesosphere layer of the atmosphere, temperatures actually increase with altitude. In the Stratosphere (option D), temperatures remain relatively stable (or may even increase slightly) with altitude.

Answer 4

No, the correct answer is A. Troposphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere, extending from the surface up to around 7-20 kilometers in altitude, depending on the latitude. In this layer, temperatures generally decrease with increasing altitude, which is why it is also known as the "temperature decreasing layer." The other layers mentioned, including the stratosphere, mesosphere, and mesopause, all have temperatures that rise or remain relatively constant with increasing altitude.
