Question 5 Temperature (°C) The figure on the right shows the Earth's atmospheric temperature with altitude. There are three regions where the temperature is greater than -40 C. What causes these three regions to be so warm? In the absence of Oxygen in the atmosphere, how would the temperature profile change? Draw this new profile OVER the one on the right.
