Detailed explanation-1: -Fifty percent of the total mass of the atmosphere is located in the lower 18, 000 ft of the troposphere. Nearly all atmospheric water vapor or moisture is found in the troposphere, so it is the layer where most of Earth’s weather takes place.
Detailed explanation-2: -Troposphere. Known as the lower atmosphere almost all weather occurs in this region. The troposphere begins at the Earth’s surface and extends from 4 to 12 miles (6 to 20 km) high. The height of the troposphere varies from the equator to the poles.
Detailed explanation-3: -Air is warmest at the bottom of the troposphere near ground level. Air gets colder as one rises through the troposphere. That’s why the peaks of tall mountains can be snow-covered even in the summertime. Air pressure and the density of the air also decrease with altitude.
Detailed explanation-4: -Troposphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of our atmosphere. Starting at ground level, it extends upward to about 10 km (6.2 miles or about 33, 000 feet) above sea level. We humans live in the troposphere, and nearly all weather occurs in this lowest layer.
Detailed explanation-5: -The exchange and movement of water between the earth and atmosphere is called the water cycle. The cycle, which occurs in the troposphere, begins as the sun evaporates large amounts of water from the earth’s surface and the moisture is transported to other regions by the wind.
