Question
Which statement is incorrect regarding the atmospheric
layers and their characteristics?Solution
The statement that the temperature increases with height in the troposphere is incorrect. In the troposphere, the temperature typically decreases with altitude, which is a defining characteristic of this lowest atmospheric layer where most weather phenomena occur.
