If tropopause folding allows stratospheric air to enter the troposphere, what would be the most suitable effect?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Entry of ozone and dry air into the lower troposphere
Tropopause folding is a dynamic exchange process in which stratospheric air can descend into the upper or lower troposphere. Stratospheric air is characteristically dry and contains more ozone than ordinary tropospheric air, so ozone and dry air may be transported downward. Hence A is correct. The other options confuse atmospheric layers or claim impossible outcomes such as zero tropospheric pressure.
