Passage III
The tropopause is the transition between 2 layers of Earth's s atmosphere: the troposphere (the layer that begins at Earth's surface) and the stratosphere (the layer just above the troposphere). Figure 1 shows how air temperature changes with altitude at 3 latitudes (0°, 45° N, and 90° N), as well as the average tropopause altitude for each of those latitudes. Figure 2 shows, for the tropical latitudes, the monthly averages for tropopause altitude, tropopause air pressure, and tropopause air temperature determined for a particular 30-year perIod.
14. Based on Figure 2, was the average tropopause air pressure inversely related or directly related to the average tropopause altitude?
Your Answer is
Correct Answer is G
Explanation
First of all, according to the first two pictures of figure 2, it can be seen that when the altitude rises, the air pressure drops, so the two are inversely related
