Attempt this previous-year question. The correct option stays hidden until you choose.
Consider the following statements : Statement-I Thickness of the troposphere at the equator is much greater as compared to poles.
Statement-II : At the equator, heat is transported to great heights by strong convectional currents. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements ?
Pick an option to check yourself.
• Correct Answer: A
• Troposphere thickness is ~18 km at equator versus ~8 km at poles due to intense solar heating.
• Strong equatorial convection currents push warm air to greater heights, elevating the tropopause.
• Statement-II directly explains the latitudinal variation in tropospheric depth.
