480 400 320 F2 layer 200 160 100 E layer 50 D layer 50 31 Equatorial tropopause1 Normal lapse rate 10 6.2 (3.5 F/1000) 0 15 32 400 800 1200 32 59 90 752 1472 2200 F:-130 22 Use the diagram above to answer the questions below. Similar diagrams(s) can also be found in chapter 2 ofyour textbook. 15) Which temperature layer of the atmosphere is higher in altitude, the Troposphere or the Stratosphere? 16) In what functional layer of the atmosphere is the Ozone layer found in? 17) Notice that the Equatorial tropopause creates the top of the Tropospere, the Stratopause creates the top of the Stratosphere, and the Mesopause creates the top of the Mesosphere. What happens to temperature at each of the "pauses"?

Explanation / Answer

15] Stratosphere

16] Stratosphere

17] At tropopause, the temperature drops.

At Stratopause, the temperature increases and its maximum at stratopause.

At Mesopause, the temperature decreases and it is minimum between the boundary of mesosphere and thermosphere.
