Q50. Read the following passage:The stratosphere is a layer of the Earth's atmosphere that lies above the troposphere. It begins about 10 miles above the equator and 6 miles above the Earth's polar regions. Little moisture enters the stratosphere, so clouds are rare. Even though the stratosphere has complete wind systems, violent storms do not occur there. That is why airline pilots prefer to fly in the stratosphere. The passage states that temperatures increase with altitude in the stratosphere; it gives the lower layer's temperature as 28 °F and the upper layer's as approximately -67 °F. The upper boundary of the stratosphere is called the stratopause, which lies about 30 miles above the Earth's surface. The passage claims the stratopause contains most of the atmosphere's ozone, which shields living things from the sun's ultraviolet radiation.According to the passage, which of the following is true?English — Passages — Question 50 of 56A. Clouds are rare above the polar regions.B. The stratopause is the highest layer of the atmosphere.C. Because there is very little humidity in the stratosphere, violent storms are impossible there.D. Clouds with a great deal of humidity can get as high as 10 miles above the equator.Practice more English MCQs for entrance exam preparation on Examora.io.← Previous Question Next Question →
