alleryWhere is the troposphere the deepest?
AOver the poles
BNear 45 degrees north
COver the Equator
DOver the oceans
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Over the Equator
1. The troposphere height varies with latitude.
2. It is about 9 km at the poles and about 17 km at the Equator.
3. So the Equator has the deepest troposphere, because strong surface heating lifts the air higher.
