Earth scientists have identified four distinct layers of the atmosphere. Which of the following defines the layers of the atmosphere?
Clouds trap heat provided during the day
Convection
Their temperature
The air particles move faster, causing the air to expand
Surface winds, the coriolis effect, and continental deflection
Cryosphere
The Sun
From areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure
