Question

The correct sequence of different layers of the atmosphere from the surface of the Earth upwards is:

• A. Troposphere, Stratosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere
• B. Stratosphere, Troposphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere
• C. Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Ionosphere
• D. Stratosphere, Troposphere, Mesosphere, Ionosphere

Hint:

Remember key characteristics of atmospheric layers to place them correctly in order.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Layers of the atmosphere
The atmosphere has several layers arranged in order from the Earth's surface upwards:
1. Troposphere – where weather occurs and humans live.
2. Stratosphere – contains the ozone layer.
3. Mesosphere – cold layer where meteors burn.
4. Ionosphere – ionized layer important for radio communication.
Step 2: Correct sequence
The correct sequence from Earth’s surface upwards is: Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, then Ionosphere.
Thus, Option (C) is correct.
