What is a common result of decreasing temperature with height in the mesosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Very low temperature occurs near the mesopause
The governing concept is the temperature gradient of the mesosphere. In this layer, temperature generally decreases as altitude increases, so the upper boundary, called the mesopause, becomes one of the coldest regions of the atmosphere. Hence option C is correct. This trend does not thicken the ozone layer, produce heavy rainfall, or mark the end of the exosphere; those choices confuse different layers or processes.
