In which layer does unstable vertical mixing of air promote cloud formation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Troposphere
Option B, the troposphere, is correct. Strong heating of the surface causes warm air to rise, while cooler air sinks, producing convection and unstable vertical mixing. Rising moist air expands and cools; when it reaches saturation, condensation forms clouds. The stratosphere is relatively stable, and the exosphere and thermosphere are too rarefied for ordinary weather clouds.
