If a question mentions both ultraviolet absorption and temperature increase, which layer is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Stratosphere
Option B is correct. The stratosphere contains the ozone layer, and ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation. That absorption converts radiation into heat, so temperature generally increases with altitude through much of the stratosphere. This upward increase creates stable layering and distinguishes it from the troposphere, where temperature usually decreases upward. The mesosphere again shows a general temperature decrease, while the exosphere is far above the ozone-rich region.
