Expert Solution

Option -c

The troposphere is characterized by turbulent mixing and overturning. This turbulence results from uneven heating of the surface and the atmosphere. Temperature decreases with height in this layer. This temperature decrease is known as the environmental lapse rate and averages 6.5 ºC/km. This layer extends from the surface up to an average altitude of 11 km (Ahrens 10). This altitude can range as high as 16 km in the tropics to less than 9 km over the poles (Lutgens 19). This range is due to the temperature differences between the tropics and poles. The warm surface temperatures and turbulent mixing over the tropics help to push the troposphere's boundary upward (Lutgens 19).

The tropopause extends above the troposphere. Temperature remains constant with height in this layer. Jet streams flow through the tropopause where the latitudinal variations in temperature are great.

Check all the correct statements. The internal energy of an ideal gas (those that obey PV = nRT) depends only the temperature of the system. The internal energy of any gas depends only the temperature of the system. The heat capacity of an ideal gas does not depend on what molecules the gas is made of. At constant temperature, the internal energy of a real gas increases with increasing pressure because molecules are closer together. We assume that the conditions...
