Question

if the statement is true, write true. if the statement is false, write the correct underlined word in the highlight to make the statement true.

1. the layer of the atmosphere where weather occurs is the thermosphere.
2. the mesosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that contains ozone.
3. the exosphere is the outer layer of the thermosphere.
4. most meteoroids burn up in the stratosphere.
5. the troposphere is divided into two layers.
6. the ionosphere lies between the mesosphere and exosphere.

Explanation:

1. Weather processes like cloud formation, precipitation, and wind take place in the lowest atmospheric layer, not the thermosphere.
2. The ozone layer, which absorbs UV radiation, is located in the stratosphere, not the mesosphere.
3. The exosphere is the outermost layer of the entire atmosphere, separate from the thermosphere, so this statement is false.
4. Meteoroids burn up due to friction with air molecules in the mesosphere, not the stratosphere.
5. The troposphere is a single, uniform lowest layer; the thermosphere is the layer divided into ionosphere and exosphere.
6. The ionosphere is a sub-layer within the thermosphere, positioned between the mesosphere and exosphere.

Answer:

1. troposphere
2. stratosphere
3. false
4. mesosphere
5. thermosphere
6. true
