What is the correct order of the air layers under normal conditions, from the layer closest to the earth's surface to the one farthest from the Earth's surface?
cool air, cooler air, warm air
warm air, cool air, cooler air
cooler air, warm air, cool air
cooler air, cool air, warm air
Which of the following best explains why a thermal inversion tends to concentrate pollutants in the air layer closest to the Earth’s surface?
The air layer that is the second closest to the Earth’s surface is less dense than the layer above it.
The inversion layer is warmer than the air layer that is farthest from the Earth’s surface.
The air layer closest to the Earth’s surface is denser than the layer above it.
The air layer that is farthest from the Earth’s surface contains the coolest air.
