Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mesosphere is the atmospheric layer that begins at a height of 50 km. The thermosphere is actually very hot, but this is not the only characteristic of this layer. The troposphere has a negative lapse rate, meaning that temperatures decrease with increasing altitude. The stratosphere actually has some of the warmest temperatures in the atmosphere due to the presence of ozone.
