Question

1. The layer of the atmosphere that contains weather is the
A. stratosphere
B. asthenosphere
C. mesosphere
D. troposphere
2. Which statement is false regarding the world’s oceans?
A. The Arctic Ocean is the smallest in comparison to other oceans.
B. The Pacific Ocean is the largest in comparison to other oceans.
C. The Atlantic Ocean is the baby of the five oceans in geologic age.
D. The Southern Ocean surrounds the coast of Antarctica.

Answer 1

The correct answers are:

1. D. Troposphere;

- The Troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, and the most turbulent one. In this layer we have the most amount of gases, water vapor, creation of winds, rain, and this is the layer where the weather as we know it forms and affects the planet and everything on it.

2. C. The Atlantic Ocean is the baby of the five oceans in geologic age;

- The Atlantic Ocean is not the youngest of the oceans that are present nowadays, so the statement that it is a ''baby'' by geologic age compared tot he other ones is false. The ''baby'' in geologic age can be considered the Indian Ocean, because it is the last one the formed, after the Indian plate managed to reach the Eurasian tectonic plate and opened up the space for it.

Answer 2

1. The atmosphere of the atmosphere contains the weather is:

D. Troposphere.

2. The FALSE statement regarding the world’s oceans is:

C. The Atlantic ocean is the baby of the five oceans in the geologic age.

Further explanation

No. 1

The atmosphere that contains the weather is the troposphere. The troposphere is the layer where the weather phenomenon occurs and is rich in oxygen. This troposphere consists of the planetary water layer (0-1 Km), convection layer (1-8 Km), and tropopause layer (8-12 Km). The troposphere is the layer closest to humans and very important in supporting life on Earth.

No. 2

The Atlantic ocean IS NOT the baby of the five oceans. As we know, the youngest ocean in the world is the Indian ocean. It is determined based on the geological time when it was formed. Indian ocean is the youngest and the smallest if compared to the other three major oceans. This ocean covered almost one-fifth of the total ocean on Earth. The average depth of the Indian ocean is 3,960 meters, with the deepest point in the Java trench in Indonesia.
