What is the boundary between the mesosphere and thermosphere called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mesopause
The mesopause is the boundary between the mesosphere and the thermosphere. It is also commonly identified as the coldest region or a very cold boundary zone in the atmosphere, because the mesosphere becomes colder with height before the thermosphere begins warming through absorption of high-energy solar radiation. Thus option C is correct. Stratopause and tropopause are lower boundaries, while “ozonopause” is not the standard term here.
