Why can the thickness of the troposphere vary with season and latitude?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Due to differences in solar heating and atmospheric convection
Solar heating is not uniform across latitudes or throughout the year. Stronger heating warms air, increases convection, and allows the troposphere to extend higher; weaker heating produces less vertical expansion. Consequently, its thickness changes with latitude and season. Option A gives the governing physical explanation. Earth’s metallic content, ocean salinity, and exospheric gases do not directly determine the troposphere’s thickness.
