B) Thermosphere
C) Stratosphere
D) Mesosphere
E) None of the above/ More than one of the above.

D) Mesosphere
Feedback
Ans:(D) Exp: The mesosphere lies between the thermosphere and the stratosphere. “Meso” means middle, and this is the highest layer of the atmosphere in which the gases are all mixed up rather than being layered by their mass.
Meteors burn up in the mesosphere. The meteors make it through the exosphere and thermosphere without much trouble because those layers don’t have much air. But when they hit the mesosphere, there are enough gases to cause friction and create heat.

D) at sea level
Feedback
Ans:(D) Exp: Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels. Since most of the atmosphere's molecules are held close to the earth's surface by the force of gravity, air pressure decreases rapidly at Krst, then more slowly at higher levels.

It the hottest region, where the nuclear fusion reactions that power the Sun occur. Moving outward, next comes the radiative (or radiation) zone. Its name is derived from the way energy is carried outward through this layer, carried by photons as thermal radiation. The third and Knal region of the solar interior is named the convective (or convection) zone. It is also named after the dominant mode of energy tow in this layer; heat moves upward via roiling convection, much like the bubbling motion in a pot of boiling oatmeal.

This commission is known as the Simon commission, after Sir John Simon who headed it. Its appointment came as a rude shock to the Indian people. The members of the commission were all Englishmen and not a single Indian was included in it. The government showed no inclination of accepting the demand for Swaraj. The composition of the commission conKrmed the fears of the Indian people. The appointment of the commission sparked off a wave of protest all over the country. In 1927, the annual session of the congress was held at Madras. It decided to Boycott the commission. The Muslim league also decided to boycott the commission. The commission arrived in India on 3 February 1928. On that day, the entire country observed a hartal. In the afternoon on that day, meeting were held all over the country to condemn the appointment of the commission and to declare that the people of India would have nothing to do with it. It was during these demonstrations that the great leader Lala Lajpat Rai, who was popularly known as Sher-i-Punjab, was severely assaulted by the police.
