Q.How were the regions of the tropopause, stratopause and mesopause determined?Related Search:
Weather
 Thinking, temperature wise?
A.The layers of the atmosphere (going up) Troposphere • Stratosphere • Mesosphere • Thermosphere • Exosphere Temperature goes down with altitude through the Troposphere to the tropopause, then goes up with altitude through the Stratosphere to the stratopause, down with altitude through the Mesosphere to the mesopause, then up again through the Thermosphere. So the ***pauses are places where temperature reaches a minimum or maximum, that's how they were determined and that's how the atmosphere got carved up into layers.
  

Q.the temperature of the atmosphere varies from the boundary layer up to the stratopause.?Related Search:
Earth Sciences & Geology
 temperature of the atmosphere varies from the boundary layer up to the stratopause. Explain the reasons for this variation.
A.The atmosphere is divided into five layers. It is thickest near the surface and thins out with height until it eventually merges with space. 1. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. The air is very well mixed and the temperature decreases with altitude. Air in the troposphere is heated from the ground up. The surface of the Earth absorbs energy and heats up faster than the air does. The heat is spread through the troposphere because the air is slightly unstable.Weather occurs in the Earth's troposphere. 2. The stratosphere is located above the top of the the troposphere. In the Earth's stratosphere, the temperature increases with altitude. On Earth, ozone causes the increasing temperature in the stratosphere. Ozone is concentrated around an altitude of 25 kilometers. The ozone molecules absorb dangerous kinds of sunlight, which heats the air around them. 3. The mesosphere is on top of the stratosphere. In the Earth's mesosphere, the air is relatively mixed together and the temperature decreases with altitude. The atmosphere reaches its coldest temperature of around -90°C in the mesosphere. This is also the layer in which a lot of meteors burn up while entering the Earth's atmosphere. 4. The thermosphere is the fourth layer of the Earth's atmosphere and is located above the mesosphere. The air is really thin in the thermosphere. A small change in energy can cause a large change in temperature. That's why the temperature is very sensitive to solar activity. When the sun is active, the thermosphere can heat up to 1,500°C or higher! The Earth's thermosphere also includes the region of the atmosphere called the ionosphere. The ionosphere is a region of the atmosphere that is filled with charged particles. The high temperatures in the thermosphere can cause molecules to ionize. This is why an ionosphere and thermosphere can overlap. 5. Very high up, the Earth's atmosphere becomes very thin. The region where atoms and molecules escape into space is referred to as the exosphere. The exosphere is on top of the thermosphere.

 hii can someone help me pllzzzz.I have to get atleast 3 pages of work on the stratopause.Thankzz
A.The stratopause is the level of the atmosphere which is the boundary between two layers, stratosphere and the mesosphere. In the stratosphere the temperature increases with altitude, and the stratopause is the section where a maximum in the temperature occurs. This occurs not only on Earth, but on other planets with an atmosphere as well. On Earth, the stratopause is 50 to 55 km high above the earths surface. The atmospheric pressure is around 1/1000th of the pressure at sea level. Check out the list of sources below for more information

The stratopause is the level of the atmosphere which is the boundary between two layers, stratosphere and the mesosphere. In the stratosphere the temperature increases with altitude, and the stratopause is the section where a maximum in the temperature occurs.

This occurs not only on Earth, but on other planets with an atmosphere as well.

On Earth, the stratopause is 50 to 55 km high above the Earth's surface. The atmospheric pressure is around 1/1000th of the pressure at sea level.
