__________ is the atmospheric layer wherein the weather occurs.
Correct answer: A. Troposphere
- A. Troposphere
- B. Stratosphere
- C. Mesosphere
- D. Thermosphere
Explanation
Most weather occurs in the troposphere because it contains most atmospheric water vapour and is heated from Earth's surface, producing convection, clouds and storms. The higher layers are much drier and more stable.
