CEEN 351 Final Exam Questions and Answers(RATED A) Dry adiabatic lapse rate - ANSWER The air will change 1 degree Cel for every 100 m it rises. Troposphere - ANSWER The lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere and site of all weather on Earth. Usually 17 to 20 km, concentrations 80% of the mass of the atmosphere. Pg 410 Stratosphere - ANSWER Above the Troposphere. Temp increase as elevation increase. Low mixing rates with air, and high ozone concentrations. 19.9% of the mass of the atmosph...
