In which condition would the stratospheric thermal inversion be clearly indicated?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Temperature increasing with height
A thermal inversion means that temperature increases with altitude instead of following the usual decrease found in the lower atmosphere. In the stratosphere, ozone absorbs incoming ultraviolet radiation and warms the surrounding air, producing this upward temperature increase. Atmospheric pressure still generally decreases with height, so option B is incorrect. Water vapour does not define the inversion, and gravity does not suddenly disappear. Therefore option A is the only correct answer.
