Is the troposphere equal in depth everywhere and why or why not?

Definitely not - it varies with temperature. The top of the troposphere is defined by (to simplify) the point where the temperature stops decreasing with height. This is going to vary depending on the temperature of the air below. The troposphere can be less than half the height at the poles as it is at the equator because cold air takes up much less space. Additionally, its height varies in the same location as the seasons change, or even as different air masses move through.

∙ 11y agoNo it is not equal in depth across the world and a few factors come into play here. The most important factor is the temperature of the air in that area. The depth of the troposphere is smaller or more shallow in regions where the temperature is colder. This is because air is more dense and compacted in colder areas. Think about those air molecules vibrating faster when its warmer. Since they are colder, they aren't bumping into each other as much so they are closer together. In warmer regions the troposphere is deeper because warmer air expands. This is for the opposite reason compared to colder air and the molecules are vibrating really fast. Since they are bumping into each other more often, they are spaced farther apart making that region of the troposphere is deeper.

What layer of the atmosphere is where most weather takes place?
The troposphere
What is crystallographic balance?
is created by repeating elementssof equal weight everywhere
How does the depth of the trophosphere vary?
It varies with latitude due to the uneven heating of the Earth's atmosphere. It is thickest near the equator. The troposphere extends for more than 16 kilometers (56,000 feet) of altitude above the equator but less than 9 kilometers (30,000 feet) above the North and South Poles.
Which layer of the atmosphere has the highest humidity?
The troposphere has almost all of them.
What is closest to earth's surface the troposphere or stratosphere?
Troposphere
Is the troposphere height the same everywhere?
No
What are 2 facts about the troposphere?
1. Weather occurs in the troposphere. 2. The depth of the troposphere varies from 16 km to 9 km.
Where is rock found?
Everywhere, under your feet, at varying depth.
Does the olympic pool get deeper at the end?
No it is the same depth everywhere.
Where found rock?
Everywhere, under your feet, at varying depth.
What is the antiderivative of zero?
The antiderivative of a function which is equal to 0 everywhere is a function equal to 0 everywhere.
Which atmospheric layer is the troposphere?
It is the lowest section of our atmosphere, with an avg. depth of 11km (7miles). Contains 75% of atmosphere's mass.
Where does most of earth weather occur?
Weather is the generalzation of the changes in amtmosphere, temperature, moisture, presssure, etc. Everywhere, this is happening so the world has lots of weather. I would ask a more specific question pertaining to a specific kind of weather because there is different weather happening everywhere.
What is the difference between height and depth of a tree?
height and depth of a tree is equal... but height and depth of a node is not equal because... the height is calculated by traversing from leaf to the given node depth is calculated from traversal from root to the given node.....
Where is air found on Earth?
it is found everywhere except some planets..
Lines of equal depth in sea is called?
fathoms
How does the depths of the trophosphere vary?
The depth of the troposphere varies from more then 16km above the equator to less than 9km above North Pole and South Pole.
