Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The thermosphere is the hottest layer of the atmosphere, with temperatures reaching up to 1,500°C or more, although the air is so thin that it would not feel hot to a person.
Explanation:
The Hadley cell and Ferrel cell are separated by the subtropical high-pressure belt, which is located around 30° latitude in both hemispheres. Here, air sinks and diverges toward the equator and the poles.
