The difference between homosphere and heterosphere is mainly understood on which basis?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: On the basis of gas mixing and molecular separation
The governing concept is composition-based structural classification of the atmosphere. In the homosphere, turbulence and mixing keep the major gases relatively well blended through the lower atmosphere. At greater heights, molecular diffusion becomes increasingly important; in the heterosphere, gases tend to separate according to molecular mass, with lighter gases becoming more prevalent upward. Therefore option A is correct. Cloud colour, rainfall and ocean waves are not criteria for defining these two atmospheric regions.
