In which layer does temperature decrease before it starts increasing again in the next upper region?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mesosphere
The governing concept is the vertical temperature pattern of the atmosphere. In the mesosphere, temperature generally decreases as altitude increases because there is little ozone to absorb ultraviolet energy. Above it lies the thermosphere, where absorption of high-energy solar radiation causes temperature to rise again. The stratosphere already shows warming with height, while the exosphere is not the relevant transition; therefore option B is correct.
