Question 6
You have witnessed weather phenomena, such as winds, storms, rainfall, etc. Which atmospheric layer is mainly responsible for such phenomena and what is the primary reason for its occurrence?
View Answer Hide Answer
  • The troposphere is mainly responsible for weather like winds, storms and rainfall.
  • It is heated from the Earth’s surface, so temperature falls with height and warm air rises — this vertical mixing drives winds and storms.
