  1. 100 meters

  2. 135 meters

  3. 150 meters

  4. 165 meters

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$165 meters$

Higher up in the troposphere, where less heat from the surface warms the air, the temperature drops. Typically, the temperature drops about 6.5° C with each increase in altitude of 1 kilometer (about 3.6° F per 1,000 feet). The rate at which the temperature changes with altitude is called the "lapse rate".

What is the upper part of the atmosphere called?

geography the realms of the earth atmosphere and its structures what is around us? the atmosphere the earth's structure

  1. Lithosphere

  2. Exosphere

  3. Barysphere

  4. Hydrosphere

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The exosphere is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere (i.e. the upper limit of the atmosphere). It extends from the exobase, which is located at the top of the thermosphere at an altitude of about 700 km above sea level, to about 10,000 km (6,200 mi; 33,000,000 ft) where it merges into the solar wind.

 _____ is the model of the earth. 

geography interior of the earth the earth's structure components of earth earth and structure

  1. Globe

  2. Satellite

  3. Universe

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A 3-dimensional model of the Earth is called globe. We cannot see the Earth all of it at once as it is so large. So, globe helps us to see what the whole Earth looks like. A globe is better representation of earth in comparison to a flat map. As the Earth spins on its axis, globe also has an axis and we can rotate it. The globe is tilted to one side because the Earth itself is tilted. So, a globe helps in properly studying the Earth.
