Which statement shows that layers are not classified only by the amount of gases?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Main thermal layers are identified by temperature change with height
The governing idea is that atmospheric classification can use different criteria. The major thermal layers—troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere—are identified mainly by how temperature changes with altitude, including reversals in the trend. Thus option A is correct. Gas composition can provide another classification, but nitrogen alone does not define every layer; gas amounts are not equal, and weather is concentrated in the troposphere rather than the exosphere.
