In which layer does temperature decrease like in the troposphere but water vapour and weather are not dominant?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mesosphere
The mesosphere is the layer in which temperature generally decreases with increasing altitude, continuing the downward trend found in the troposphere. It is too dry and thin for ordinary weather to dominate, and many meteors burn there because of collisions with air particles. Therefore option A is correct. The stratosphere has a temperature increase with height, the exosphere is much farther out, and the lower troposphere is the main weather layer.
