Question

A jet plane leaves the stratosphere and returns to the ground. How does the temperature outside the jet change during its descent through the troposphere?   A. It decreases and then increases.   B. It decreases steadily.   C. It increases steadily.   D. It increases and then decreases.

Answer 1

The answer is not A It decreases and then increases. The correct answer is C It increases steadily.

Explanation: I just got the answer wrong by going with It decreases and then increases.

Answer 2

Answer : A. It decreases and then increases.

Step-by-step explanation : Troposphere is the lowermost layer of atmosphere.

Stratosphere is next layer up to the troposphere. As the jet descends from stratosphere towards the troposphere, the temperature initially decreases and then at troposphere is roughly constant and then steadily increases.

So, option (A) is correct.
