1.) In the atmosphere there are areas called "pauses," such as the tropopause. In a graph showing the temperature changes in the atmosphere, we would see that the temperature line in these areas is vertical. What does this indicate about the temperatures at these altitudes?

a.)A vertical temperature line indicates no change in temperature at those altitudes.

b.) A vertical temperature line indicates a constant increase in temperature at those altitudes.

c.) A vertical temperature line indicates a constant decrease in temperature at those altitudes.

d.) None of the answers are correct.

  1. c)


  2. The correct answer is A. When a line is vertical on a graph such as that it indicates that area is isothermal. Isothermal means that the temperature is constant it's neither increasing or decreasing in temperature.

  3. The above answerers are incorrect. The answer is actually a. The tropopause, stratopause, and the mesopause are areas where temperature does not change with height. Vertical lines indicate zero change. Temperature change is actually indicated by a diagonal line.

  4. Do your own homework.

  5. D

    Through each of the pauses the temperature change inverts,

    tropopause it stops cooling and begins to rise,

    stratopause it stops heating and begins to cool again

    and so forth until you exit the atmosphere which is either hot or cool depending on which side of earth's shadow you are on.
