Which characteristic describes the troposphere?
contains the ozone layer
has the highest air pressure
spans 12–50 km above Earth
is a good place for planes to fly

Answer

The characteristic that describes the troposphere is:

  • is a good place for planes to fly.

The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere and extends from the Earth's surface up to about 8 to 15 kilometers (5 to 9 miles) in altitude. This layer is where most of the weather phenomena occur, and it contains the majority of the atmosphere's mass. The air in this layer is relatively stable at cruising altitudes for commercial aircraft, which is why it is a preferred layer for planes to fly.
