If a vertical temperature profile shows the second temperature minimum, which boundary would it be related to?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mesopause
The governing concept is the sequence of temperature extrema across atmospheric boundaries. The tropopause marks the first major minimum, while temperature rises through the stratosphere and then falls through the mesosphere to a second major minimum at the mesopause. Therefore option A is correct. The stratopause is a relative maximum, sea level is not an atmospheric boundary of this sequence, and the exobase is far above the mesopause.
