In which layer does the decreasing temperature trend reverse into an increasing trend with height?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Stratosphere
The correct answer is A, the stratosphere. In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases as altitude increases, but in the stratosphere it reverses and rises with height. Ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation and warms the upper part of this layer, producing the inversion. The mesosphere again has a decreasing temperature trend, while the exosphere is not the standard layer meant by this reversal.
