True or false is the exosphere the outer layer of the thermosphere?

true


Is it true or false the troposphere is divided into the ionosphere and the exosphere?

That is false.


Why the mesosphere the coldest layer?

The mesosphere is the coldest layer. In the outer mesosphere, temperatures approach -90 degrees Celsius. However, a thermometer would measure the thermosphere to be well below 0 degrees Celsius. The thermosphere is actually very hot. It can get up to 1, 800 degrees Celsius. You would not feel that warmth though because temperature is the average amount of energy in motion of each molecule of a substance. The gas molecules in the thermosphere move very rapidly, so the temperature is very high. The molecules are spread very far apart and there are not enough of them to collide with the thermometer and warm it very much. If you are researching this, all I can tell you is to not believe what other people are saying about the fact that the higher you get, the colder it is because the evidence is perfectly clear that it is not true.

There may be liquid water under a thick layer of ice?

The other person who answered this said Mars. This could be true on Mars's north and south pole, but its not entirely covered in ice. Ceres, the dwarf planet in the asteroid belt, and Europa, a jovian moon, may possess the qualities you included in your questions.


True or false heat is a form of energy?

False. The thermal energy itself is the heat, whether or not it happens to be flowing.Another AnswerFalse. Heat is energy in transit from a body at a higher temperature to a body at a lower temperature.The term, 'thermal energy', is long-obsolete, and doesn't describe 'heat'. It has been replaced by the term 'internal energy' which describes the energy due to the vibration of the molecules/atoms that make up an object.

The region of the atmosphere closest to the earth's surface is the stratosphere True or false?

FALSE. The layers of the atmosphere begin with the troposphere (surface to about 10 km), and continue outward with the stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. The outermost layer, the exosphere, is sometimes included in the thermosphere, as is the ionosphere.

Is it true that sedimentary rocks is formed from many layers of sediment?

Yes, it is true. Sediments get blown together by wind, and then layer on top of each other. Over time, there's lots of pressure, and the lower sediments become sedimentary rocks.
