Where is the troposphere thicker?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Near the equator
The troposphere is thicker, or extends to a greater height, near the equator. Stronger solar heating there produces greater convection and upward expansion of air. It is thinner over the poles because heating is weaker. Deserts and mountain peaks are not the controlling global regions for this thickness pattern. Therefore, option B is correct.
