If temperature decreases with height in a layer and reaches its lowest value near the mesopause, which layer is it?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mesosphere
The governing concept is the temperature profile of the atmospheric layers. In the mesosphere, temperature decreases as altitude increases and reaches its minimum near the mesopause, which is the boundary above the mesosphere. Therefore option C is correct. The troposphere also generally cools upward but does not end at the mesopause; the stratosphere warms upward, and the exosphere is the outermost extremely tenuous region rather than the layer identified by this cooling pattern.
