In which layer does a reversed temperature trend form the basis of atmospheric stability?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Stratosphere
Option A is correct. In the stratosphere, temperature generally increases with altitude, which is the reverse of the usual decrease in the troposphere. This arrangement makes air parcels less likely to rise or mix vertically, creating relatively stable conditions. The temperature increase is mainly associated with ozone absorbing ultraviolet radiation. Mesosphere and troposphere have different temperature patterns, while the exosphere is far above.
