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.

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.


The maximum depth of a certain lake is 244 meters . What is the depth of the lake in kilometers?

To convert the depth of the lake from meters to kilometers, divide the depth in meters by 1,000. Therefore, the maximum depth of the lake is 244 meters, which is equal to 0.244 kilometers.


What layer of the atmosphere do you live in?

The Troposphere.


What is a the prefix of the troposphere and suffix?

AnswerThe troposphere is the lowest portion of Earth's atmosphere. It is the densest layer of the atmosphere and contains approximately 75% of the mass of the atmosphere and almost all the water vapor and aerosols.The troposphere extends from the Earth's surface up to the tropopause, where the stratosphere begins. The depth of the troposphere is greatest in the tropical regions (up to 20 km) and smallest at the poles (about 7 km in summer, indistinct in winter). The lower part, where friction on the Earth's surface influences with air flow, is the planetary boundary layer which may be up to 2 km high depending on the landform and time of day. The border of the troposphere and stratosphere, the tropopause, is an temperature inversion.Do not listen to this answer if you really want long answers go on www.info.combye! I'm just playing you can listen to the answers! Now bye!The word troposphere stems from the Greek "tropos" for "turning" or "mixing." The troposphere is the most turbulent part of the atmosphere and is the part of the atmosphere in which most weather phenomena are seen.
