How does the air pressure change as altitude increases in the atmosphere?

• It increases

• It decreases

• It remains constant

• It first decreases, then increases

As you increase the altitude through the stratosphere, what happens to temperature?

• Increases

• Decreases

As you increase the altitude through the troposphere, what happens to temperature, water vapor and pressure?

• The all increase

• They all decrease

What is the tropopause?

• The boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere

• The boundary between the stratosphere and mesosphere

• The boundary between the mesosphere and thermosphere

• The boundary between the thermosphere and exosphere
