Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?

67% Answer Correctly

troposphere

stratosphere

thermosphere

mesosphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
