Consider the statements regarding this weather layer.
1) The height of the troposphere increases from Equator to the Poles.
2) The height of the troposphere is comparatively more during the summer season than in the winter season.
3) The height of the troposphere doesn’t get affected by the change in seasons.
Choose the correct statement/s from the following code.

1, 3 only.

2, 3 only.

3 only.

Explanation:
Because of the strong convection in the Equatorial region, the tropopause is pushed upwardthere by increasing the height of troposphere in the Equators while it is not the case in thePoles.During summer season, the air gets heated up and creates low pressure on the ground thusincreasing the pressure gradient which propels the air movements upwards and in turnpushing the tropopause upwards.
