Chapter 25 Review Questions The atmosphere is divided into several layers. The troposphere is the • lowest and most dense layer of the atmosphere, where the Earth’s weather occurs, • lowest and least dense layer of the atmosphere, where the Earth’s weather occurs, • atmosphere’s third layer from the earth, and the region with the most dense air. • atmosphere’s fourth layer from the Earth, and the region with the least dense air.
