Meteorology Brief Review

You released a balloon into the atmosphere.  Initially, the temperature drops as the balloon rises. Suddenly, there is a reversal, and the temperature starts to rise.

• The balloon passed through the troposphere into the stratosphere.

• The balloon passed through the stratosphere into the troposphere.

• The balloon passed through the troposphere into the mesosphere.

What do the mesosphere and troposphere have in common?

• Both have temperatures increasing

• Both have temperatures decreasing

• Both have nothing in common

• Both have weather occur there

After analyzing the data, which atmospheric layer was the space shuttle data MOST LIKELY collected from?

• Troposphere

• Stratosphere

• Mesosphere

• Thermosphere

Why are sea breezes felt during the day and land breezes at night?

• The land and the air above it heat and cool slower than the water causing a land breeze at night and a sea breeze during the day.

• The land and the air above it heat and cool faster than the water causing a land breeze at night and a sea breeze during the day.
