Question

Temperature inversions: Select one:

a. All of these choices are correct
b. cause gases and particulate matter to remain trapped near the ground.
c. occur when air a layer of warm air is trapped near the ground by a colder, upper layer.
d. are of greatest concern in areas with relatively flat topography.
e. typically last for weeks at a time.

Answer 1

Answer:

b. cause gases and particulate matter to remain trapped near the ground.

Explanation:

Temperature inversion simply means warm air been trapped in the atmosphere within a colder layers. it causes gases ,dust, dew and particulate matter to remain trapped near the ground thereby reducing visibility.  

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Temperature Inversions

Temperature inversion is when the normal behaviour of the temperature is reversed. This normally occurs in the region of the atmosphere nearest to the Earth's surface, also known as the troposphere. What normally occurs is that a layer of warm air is trapped near the ground by a colder upper layer.

More importantly, though, areas with heavy pollution are prone to unhealthy air and an increase in smog when an inversion is present because they trap pollutants at ground level instead of circulating them away.
