The thermosphere extends from an altitude of ________ to the base of ________ at ________?
Correct answer: C. 85 km, Exosphere, 690 km
- A. 75 km, Mesosphere, 670 km
- B. 80 km, Ionosphere, 680 km
- C. 85 km, Exosphere, 690 km
- D. 90 km, Ozone Layer , 690 km
Explanation
In the simplified atmospheric model used here, the thermosphere begins near 85 km and extends to about 690 km, where the exosphere begins. Atmospheric boundaries are gradual and can vary slightly by reference source.

About Environment and Atmosphere
Environmental science covers ecosystems, food chains and webs, energy flow, biogeochemical cycles, biodiversity, natural resources and population effects. Atmospheric study includes the layers and composition of air, weather and climate, greenhouse gases, global warming, ozone depletion, acid rain and pollution, with climate change distinguished from ordinary weather variation.
