  • 2. 

    The height above Earth's surface is

    Explanation
    The question is asking for the term that describes the height above Earth's surface. The term "altitude" is commonly used to refer to the vertical distance above a reference point, such as sea level. Therefore, the correct answer is "altitude" because it accurately represents the height above Earth's surface. The repetition of "altitude" in the answer is likely a typographical error or duplication.

    What is the height of the highest layer?

    • 550 km

    • 500 km

    • 700 km

    • 750 km

    Correct Answer
    A. 750 km
    Explanation
    The height of the highest layer is 750 km.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    What is the lowest layer and the height?

    • Troposphere, 8-18 km

    • Troposphere, 0 km

    • Mesosphere, 100 km

    • Stratosphere, 85 km

    Correct Answer
    A. Troposphere, 8-18 km
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Troposphere, 8-18 km. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere, extending from the surface up to about 8-18 km above sea level. This layer is where weather phenomena occur and where most of the Earth's weather systems are found. It is also the layer where temperature decreases with increasing altitude.

    What sea level on Earth's surface, air pressure equals:

    • 1.53

    • 20.32

    • 1.04

    • 2.04

    Correct Answer
    A. 1.04
    Explanation
    The answer 1.04 is the sea level on Earth's surface where the air pressure equals 1.04. This means that at this particular sea level, the atmospheric pressure is equivalent to 1.04 units. Air pressure is the force exerted by the weight of the atmosphere, and it decreases as altitude increases. Therefore, at higher elevations, the air pressure would be lower than 1.04, and at lower elevations, it would be higher.

  • 6. 

    When your higher up there's       air pressure and when you're lower down there's      air pressure.

    Correct Answer
    less
    more
    Explanation
    As you ascend higher in the atmosphere, the air pressure decreases. This is because the weight of the air above you decreases, resulting in less pressure. Conversely, as you descend lower, the air pressure increases because there is more air above you, exerting greater force. Therefore, when you are higher up, there is less air pressure, and when you are lower down, there is more air pressure.
