7. Earth’s Atmosphere and Temperature
True or False: the layers of the atmosphere are determined by the change of air pressure.
False- it is determined by the change in temperature
True or False: The temperature steadily decrease as you rise in elevation in Earth’s atmosphere.
False- temperature decreases, increases, decreases, and then increases at each layer change
