Troposphere is the lower most layer of the earth. It extends from earth’s surface and goes up to a height of 12 km. But its height varies from place to place and from season to season. Almost all weather phenomenon occur in this layer. Air is warmest at the bottom of the troposphere near ground level. But there is a decrease of temperature with increasing height.

The layer of the atmosphere near the surface of the earth or the lowermost one is called troposphere. The average thickness of this layer is about 14 km. Most of the weather forming phenomena occure in this layer.

Stratosphere

The Ozone layer is mainly found in the lower portion of the stratosphere, from approximately 15 to 35 kilometers (9.3 to 21.7 mi) above Earth. The ozone layer absorbs 97 to 99 percent of the Sun's medium-frequency ultraviolet light.

The tropopause is the boundary region between the troposphere and the stratosphere. Measuring the temperature change with height through the troposphere and the stratosphere identifies the location of the tropopause. In the troposphere, temperature decreases with altitude.

Rajasthan is a state in Northern India.

• After the partition of India in 1947, the camel and sheep herding Raikas, for instance, could no longer move into Sindh and graze their camels on the banks of the Indus, as they had done earlier.
  
• After independence in 1947, two nations were created—India and Pakistan. The camel and sheep herding Raikas could no longer move into Sindh and graze their camels on the banks of the Indus. 
  

• Held each November at the time of the Kartik Purnima full moon, Pushkar Camel Fair is one of India’s most highly-rated travel experiences, a spectacle on an epic scale, attracting more than 11,000 camels, horses and cattle and visited by over 400,000 people over a period of around fourteen days.
  
• For visitors it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the colour, spectacle and carnival of one of the last great traditional melas, which brings livestock, farmers, traders and villagers from all over Rajasthan
  

•   Raikas were found in the deserts of Rajasthan. 
  
• One group of Raikas, known as the Maru (desert) Raikas-hearded camels and another group reared sheep and goat.
  
•  The Raikas is south Rajasthan have been known as camel experts for centuries.
  

• This is on the Thar desert near Jaisalmer in Rajasthan.
  
•  The camel herders of the region are Maru (desert). Raikas, and their settlement is called a dhandi.
  
•  The settlement of Maru Raikas is known as  Dhandi
