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.
In which region of the earths interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks begin to melt?
asthenosphere
What process must granite go through before it will begin to weather?
Granite starts to weather as it nears the Earth's surface when the rock above it is weathered and eroded away, or from tectonic uplift. The granite expands from this depressurization and fractures into large blocks which begin to open it up to all weathering factors, such as freeze/thaw cycles, chemical weathering, and fluid hydraulics.
