In which layer does temperature begin to decrease again because the effect of ozone absorption reduces?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mesosphere
Option A, the mesosphere, is correct. In the stratosphere, ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation and produces a warming trend with height. Above the stratopause, ozone heating becomes less effective and the mesosphere again shows decreasing temperature with altitude, reaching very low temperatures near the mesopause. The thermosphere has a different increasing trend, while the other choices do not fit the sequence.
