In the thermal classification of the atmosphere, layers are separated mainly on what basis?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Change in temperature with height
Thermal classification divides the atmosphere according to how temperature changes with altitude. In the troposphere temperature generally falls upward, in the stratosphere it rises, in the mesosphere it falls again, and in the thermosphere it rises markedly. These alternating temperature trends define the major thermal layers and their boundaries. Hence option C is correct; rivers, soil and ocean depth are not atmospheric classification criteria.
