Question
Write short notes on :
2. The lowermost layer of Homosphere.
Solution
The lowermost layer of the homosphere is called troposphere. It is 16 km thick at the equator and 9-10 km thick at the poles. The temperatures decreases with altitude because the atmosphere is heated more by the heat radiated from the earth’s surface. In this layer the temperature because upward at the rate of 0.65°C per 100 metre. Most of the atmospheric processes take place in this layer.
