In which layer does rapidly decreasing density with height help keep weather formation near the surface?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Troposphere
Option A is correct. The troposphere contains most of the atmosphere’s mass and nearly all its water vapour, with the greatest concentration near the surface. As altitude increases, pressure and density fall, so there is less air and moisture available for clouds and precipitation. Weather is therefore concentrated in the lower troposphere. The exosphere, thermosphere, and mesosphere are far drier and much thinner.
