What causes an inversion-like thermal condition in the stratosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Absorption of ultraviolet energy by ozone
The governing concept is the unusual temperature pattern of the stratosphere. Ozone absorbs incoming ultraviolet radiation and converts much of that energy into heat. Therefore, temperature generally increases with altitude in this layer, unlike the troposphere, where temperature usually decreases upward. Water vapour, dust scarcity, and river vapour do not explain this systematic warming, so option C is correct.
