1.What is the reason behind variation in vertical extent of the troposphere inthe polar region and equatorial region? |
|
Answer» Answer: The BOUNDARY between STRATOSPHERE and troposphere is called tropopause. Explanation: The difference in the height of the troposphere at equator and poles is because of the constant convection that takes place on the equator. These forces push the TROPOSPHERIC levels to 18KM at the equator, while the constant sinking of the air reduces it to 8kms only at poles. The temperature also FALLS to –80°C at the equator, making the troposphere depth thicker at the equator. |
