What is the correct significance of the stratopause?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It is the transition boundary between stratosphere and mesosphere
The governing concept is atmospheric boundary naming. The suffix “-pause” denotes a transition zone between two major layers. The stratopause is the upper boundary of the stratosphere and the transition to the mesosphere; temperature stops rising through the stratosphere and begins to decrease above it. Therefore option A is correct. The other options describe no recognised meaning of stratopause and confuse it with the surface, exosphere or ocean boundary.
