Answer: Option A. -> Exosphere
Answer: (a)Extending from the top of the thermosphere to 10,000 km above the earth is the exosphere which is farthest from the Earth. This layer has very few atmospheric molecules, which can escape into space.

Answer: Option A. -> Inversion
Answer: (a)
The reversal of the normal behaviour of temperature in the troposphere in which a layer of cool air at the surface is overlain by a layer of warmer air is known as temperature inversion.
Inversions play an important role in determining cloud forms, precipitation, and visibility.

Answer: Option D. -> (A) is true, but (R) is false
Answer: (d)
Answer: (d)
Answer: Option D. -> rainfall
Answer: (d)
The climatic zones are classified on the basis of maximum and minimum temperatures and the temperature range as well as the total and seasonal distribution of precipitation.
Based on these parameters, the most commonly used classification scheme was originally developed by Wladimir Koppen.
