In which condition is the troposphere likely to be higher?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: In warm equatorial regions
The governing concept is the relationship between heating, convection and the height of the tropopause. Strong solar heating near the equator warms the surface air, increases convection and causes the troposphere to extend farther upward. It is therefore generally higher over warm equatorial regions, making option A correct. Cold polar air is denser and the troposphere is usually shallower there; the other choices describe cold conditions rather than stronger vertical expansion.
