What is the general temperature trend with height in the mesosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Temperature decreases
In the mesosphere, temperature generally decreases as altitude increases, reaching extremely low values near the mesopause. This trend occurs because the layer absorbs relatively little solar energy compared with the ozone-rich stratosphere below it. Temperature does not continuously rise there, does not remain equal to sea-level temperature, and is not determined only by rainfall. Therefore, option A is correct.
