Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tropopause altitude is highest at the equator because of the intense heating from the surface. This heating causes strong convection currents, carrying warm air and moisture towards the upper atmosphere, where it cools and forms the tropopause. This results in a higher tropopause altitude at the equator.
