What is the main reason for temperature increasing with height in the stratosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Absorption of ultraviolet radiation by ozone
Option B is correct because ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation, and the absorbed radiant energy is converted into heat within the stratosphere. Ozone concentration is especially important in the middle and upper stratosphere, producing the characteristic increase of temperature with altitude. Rapid water-vapour condensation and continuous cloud formation are unlikely because the stratosphere is dry and stable; dust settling is not the governing mechanism.
