Question
Which one of the following statements is true about tropopause?
Options:
A .  Its average height is about 10 km over the equator.
B .  It is about 5 km thick layer.
C .  The temperature at its top is lowest over the equator and relatively higher over the poles.
D .  There is no seasonal variation in its height.
Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)
The tropopause is the boundary in the Earth’s atmosphere between the troposphere and the stratosphere. The tropopause is higher than the global average in warm regions (e.g., tropics) and lower in cold regions (e.g., polar regions).
If the atmosphere is warming due to climate change, then we might expect the height of the tropopause to increase.
