Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. troposphere.
The region of the Earth’s atmosphere where weather events occur is called the Troposphere. It is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, extending from the Earth’s surface up to about 8 to 18 kilometers, depending on the latitude. Almost all weather phenomena such as rain, storms, clouds, winds, and snowfall occur in this layer due to the presence of water vapor and varying temperatures. The troposphere is also the densest atmospheric layer, containing about 75% of the atmosphere’s mass. Above it lies the stratosphere, but weather changes are confined mainly to the troposphere, making it vital for life and climate regulation.
