Quelle couche de l'ionosphère se sépare en deux sous-couches durant le jour?

  1. ALa couche E
  2. BLa couche
  3. CLa couche G
  4. DLa couche F

Correct answer: D — La couche F. Question tirée de la banque officielle d'ISDE.

Why

The F region splits into two distinct layers, called F1 and F2, only when the sun is up, because solar radiation ionizes the upper atmosphere differently during daylight hours. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
