If a layer has nearly stable temperature and very little weather disturbance, which layer is it most likely to be?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Stratosphere
Option A is correct because the stratosphere is comparatively stable and has limited vertical mixing. Its temperature generally increases with altitude because ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation, creating a temperature structure that suppresses vigorous convection. Most clouds, storms, and ordinary weather occur in the troposphere, which is therefore less stable. The mesosphere and exosphere are different upper layers and are not identified primarily by this combination of calm weather and stable stratification. Hence A best fits both clues.
