Question 1

What is used to classify the layers of the atmosphere?

A Differences among temperature altitude, and weather

B Differences among altitude, wind speed, and weather

C Differences among temperature, air pressure, and density

D How far away each layer is from the ground

C Differences among temperature, air pressure, and density

Explanation:

Classification of the atmosphere layer will be different based on the temperature, air pressure, and density. Generally, air pressure and density will go less at the higher layer, but the temperature varies greatly. Altitude and latitude define a location on earth, not the layer of atmosphere. Most weather just happens at the troposphere layer. The distance from ground level can be used as a rough estimate but not as precise criteria.
