In a difficult profile-based question, if temperature shows decrease increase decrease increase, what is the correct layer order?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Troposphere Stratosphere Mesosphere Thermosphere
Option B is correct. In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases with height because the surface is the main heat source. In the stratosphere, temperature increases upward because ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation. It decreases again through the mesosphere, then increases in the thermosphere as sparse gases absorb high-energy solar radiation. Thus the sequence decrease-increase-decrease-increase identifies the four layers in that order.
