Question

Match the layer of the atmosphere with the characteristic that describes it.

Category
Mesosphere
the layer with highest pressure and decreasing temperature. It is where all
plants and animals live.
Exosphere
Has an increasing temperature caused by ozone-absorbing ultraviolet light.
Stratosphere
A very thin layer with decreasing temperatures, the coldest in the atmosphere.
Troposphere
Also called the upper atmosphere—has increasing temperatures (high temperatures and thin air that feels cold), and has the ionosphere. Aurora Borealis occurs in this layer.
Thermosphere
The outermost region where atoms escape into outer space.

Answer 1

Here are the correct matches for each layer of the atmosphere with its corresponding characteristic:

1. **Mesosphere** - A very thin layer with decreasing temperatures, the coldest in the atmosphere.

2. **Exosphere** - The outermost region where atoms escape into outer space.

3. **Stratosphere** - Has an increasing temperature caused by ozone-absorbing ultraviolet light.

4. **Troposphere** - The layer with highest pressure and decreasing temperature. It is where all plants and animals live.

5. **Thermosphere** - Also called the upper atmosphere—has increasing temperatures (high temperatures and thin air that feels cold), and has the ionosphere. Aurora Borealis occurs in this layer.
