Question

Arrange the atmospheric layers starting from the Earth’s surface upwards:
(A) Mesosphere
(B) Stratosphere
(C) Stratopause
(D) Mesopause
(E) Troposphere
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (E), (C), (B), (D), (A)
• B. (E), (C), (B), (A), (D)
• C. (E), (B), (C), (A), (D)
• D. (E), (B), (C), (D), (A)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The Earth's atmosphere is stratified into distinct layers with unique characteristics and temperature variations. Ascending from the surface, these layers are:

1. Troposphere: The lowermost layer, where meteorological events take place.
2. Stratosphere: Situated above the troposphere, housing the ozone layer.
3. Mesosphere: Located above the stratosphere, the region where meteors disintegrate.

Two transitional zones demarcate these layers:

• Stratopause: The interface between the stratosphere and the mesosphere.
• Mesopause: The upper boundary of the mesosphere.

The ordered arrangement of these atmospheric components, beginning with the Earth's surface, is:

1. (E) Troposphere
2. (B) Stratosphere
3. (C) Stratopause
4. (A) Mesosphere
5. (D) Mesopause

The correct sequence is (E), (B), (C), (A), (D).
