Why is the troposphere higher near the equator than near the poles?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Due to greater heating and convection
The equatorial surface receives more intense solar heating than the polar regions. Warm air expands, becomes buoyant, and rises strongly, producing deeper convection and a thicker troposphere. The effect is not primarily caused by lower gravity, ozone deficiency, or ocean waves. Thus the greater heating and convection described in option B provide the correct explanation.
