PDE Q59
0. Most of the weather phenomena take place in the:
- Option : B
- Explanation :
Most weather phenomena such as clouds, rainfall, storms, and winds occur in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. It extends from the Earth's surface up to about 8 to 15 kilometers and contains the bulk of the atmosphere’s water vapor and aerosols necessary for weather activities.
-
Option A: stratosphere
Incorrect. The stratosphere lies above the troposphere and is more stable, with limited weather activity. -
Option B: troposphere
Correct. This is the most active atmospheric layer where nearly all weather events occur. -
Option C: tropopause
Incorrect. The tropopause is the boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere, not a zone of weather activity itself. -
Option D: ionosphere
Incorrect. This layer is important for radio communication but not for weather.
