In which layer is vertical air mixing most active?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Troposphere
The governing concept is convection caused by uneven heating. The Earth’s surface warms the air above it, making that air rise while cooler, denser air descends; this continual circulation produces strong vertical mixing in the troposphere. Therefore option C is correct. The stratosphere is comparatively stable, and the upper layers are too thin for ordinary weather-related mixing.
