The heterosphere is the layer of the atmosphere in which the gases are because of____ .
A)well mixed;thermal motions (i.e. ,convection)
B)well mixed;gravity causes gases of different weight to diffuse randomly
C)poorly mixed;thermal motions (i.e. ,convection)
D)poorly mixed;gravity causes gases of different weight to separate into layers
E)moderately mixed due to both thermal motion and separation by gravity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The heterosphere is the layer of the atmosphere where gases are poorly mixed due to the fact that gravity causes gases of different weight to separate into distinct layers based on their molecular weight.
