As altitude increases the temperature in the troposphere and the mesosphere drop. In the troposphere the temperature drops because the air is becoming further away from it's source of heat, the earth's surface. In the mesosphere a drop in temperature occurs as altitude increases because air becomes further away from it's heat source, the ozone layer. The layers as they appear closest to the earth's surface and moving away are: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. Weather occurs only in the troposphere.
I have the same worksheet! I am pretty sure its tropopause.............
pressure and temperature decrease at the troposphere and stratosphere
In the troposphere (the layer of the earth that we live in), the temperature decreases with increasing height. The troposphere contains approximately 80% of the atmosphere's mass and 99% of its water vapour and aerosols.As you increase height, you reach areas of the atmosphere that have fewer and fewer air molecules (which means the air is less dense) because gravity is keeping the majority of air molecules closer to the ground. So, at higher altitudes, the air is less able to store heat.
celsius
The layer of atmosphere is mesosphere. It is located after stratosphere.
Around 80 km in height in the mesosphere is the third layer of the atmosphere of Earth. The temperature decreases as you go up, as in the troposphere. It can be up to -90 ° C. It is the coldest part of the atmosphere.
Yes, we all live in the troposphere. It is the lowest level of the atmosphere. The height top of it varies over the Earth. The maximum height is about 11 miles.

The layer of the atmosphere that contains weather is the troposphere. It is the lowest layer of the atmosphere where temperature decreases with increasing altitude and where most weather phenomena occur, including clouds, precipitation, and wind.

Around 80 km in height in the mesosphere is the third layer of the atmosphere of Earth. The temperature decreases as you go up, as in the troposphere. It can be up to -90 ° C. It is the coldest part of the atmosphere.
The zone - or layer - that sits above the stratosphere is the mesosphere. This layer extends from about 50 km (or 31 miles) to around 85 km (or 53 miles) above the surface of the Earth. The mesosphere is where meteors will burn up as they enter the atmosphere. The temperature of this layer decreases with height.
bec. of the gravity of the earth
The Mesosphere has the lowest temperature of the layers of Earth's atmosphere because Temperature decreases with height in the mesosphere. The mesopause, the temperature minimum that marks the top of the mesosphere, is the coldest place on Earth and has an average temperature around −100 °C (−148.0 °F; 173.1 K)
Yes, we all live in the troposphere. It is the lowest level of the atmosphere. The height top of it varies over the Earth. The maximum height is about 11 miles.
There is a third layer in the atmosphere and is called the mesosphere. The temperature is what decreases and can drop to temperatures that are -173 degrees Fahrenheit.
mesosphere is a layer of the atmosphere is the third layer of atmosphere. It lies above the stratosphere.it extends up to the height of 80 km. Meteorites burn up in this layer on entering from the space.
