In which layer is thermal structure affected by ozone absorption but water vapour is low?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Stratosphere
The governing concept is the contrasting distribution of ozone and water vapour. In the stratosphere, ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation and produces a temperature increase with altitude, while the layer contains far less water vapour than the troposphere. Thus option A is correct. The troposphere is moisture-rich and weather-producing; the lower surface zone is not a standard atmospheric layer, and the exosphere has negligible ozone and extremely thin gas.
