Question

question 5 2 pts
what is a temperature inversion in the troposphere?
○ when temperature increases with altitude and warm air sits over cold air
○ when the stratosphere becomes cooler than the troposphere
○ when temperature decreases normally with altitude
○ when nighttime temperatures are higher than daytime temperatures

question 6 2 pts
why would a persons blood boil at normal body temperature in the mesosphere?
○ the oxygen concentration is too high
○ the temperature is too high
○ there is too much ultraviolet radiation
○ the atmospheric pressure is so low

Explanation:

For Question 5: In the troposphere, temperature normally decreases with altitude. A temperature inversion is the opposite, where warm air traps cooler air below it.
For Question 6: Boiling point of a liquid depends on atmospheric pressure; lower pressure lowers the boiling point. Normal body temperature is ~37°C, and in the mesosphere, extremely low atmospheric pressure makes blood boil at this temperature.

Answer:

Question 5: When temperature increases with altitude and warm air sits over cold air
Question 6: The atmospheric pressure is so low
