    Met Worksheet 1 - The Atmosphere

    Uploaded by

    Sujan Iyer
    The document is a 15 question multiple choice test about layers of the atmosphere. Most questions ask about specific characteristics of the troposphere, stratosphere, and tropopause: 1) The stratosphere extends from 11 to 50km, 2) The troposphere has greater extent above the equator, 3) The tropopause is where temperature ceases falling with height. Other questions cover general atmospheric properties like temperature and humidity distribution with altitude.
