If pressure, temperature, and density are all given for understanding layers, which conclusion is most correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Pressure and density generally decrease but temperature trend identifies layers
The governing atmospheric principle is that air pressure and density generally decrease as altitude increases because the overlying air becomes thinner. Temperature, however, does not change in one direction throughout the atmosphere; its vertical trend is used to distinguish the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. Thus option A correctly combines the clues.
