What is the study of Earth's atmosphere?

  1. Oceanography

  2. Meteorology

  3. Limnology

  4. Hydrology

The correct answer is: Meteorology

Meteorology is the study of Earth's atmosphere, including weather patterns and climate. Oceanography is the study of Earth's oceans, not the atmosphere. Limnology is the study of inland water systems, not the atmosphere. Hydrology is the study of water on Earth, including water cycles and distribution, but it does not specifically focus on the atmosphere. Therefore, the most accurate answer choice is B.
