If a question gives clues about stratospheric ozone and stable stratification, what is the correct conclusion?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Temperature increases with height and suppresses convection
In the stratosphere, ozone absorbs incoming ultraviolet radiation, so temperature generally increases with altitude through much of this layer. The resulting temperature inversion makes the air comparatively stable and inhibits vertical convection. Hence option D correctly connects ozone, warming with height, and stable stratification. A normal monsoon is a tropospheric weather process, while the vacuum and exosphere-rainfall claims are incorrect.
