How does the thickness of the troposphere at the poles compare with its thickness near the equator?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Less
The troposphere is thinner over the poles and thicker near the equator. Stronger heating near the equator makes air expand and convection extend to a greater height, whereas colder polar air is denser and the troposphere reaches a lower altitude. Therefore, option D is correct. Its thickness is not equal everywhere and does not change in this way merely between day and night.
