Question

in which two layers does temperature decrease?
stratosphere & thermosphere
troposphere & mesosphere
ionosphere & exosphere
atmosphere & lithosphere

Explanation:

In the Earth's atmosphere, temperature decreases with altitude in the troposphere (where most weather occurs) and the mesosphere (above the stratosphere). In the stratosphere, temperature increases due to ozone - absorption of UV radiation, and in the thermosphere, temperature increases due to absorption of high - energy solar radiation. The ionosphere is part of the thermosphere and exosphere is the outermost layer with increasing temperature trends. The lithosphere is the solid outer part of the Earth and not part of the atmospheric layers relevant to this temperature - change question.

Answer:

Troposphere & Mesosphere
