Which clue is most suitable for identifying the mesosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Burning of meteors and very low temperature
The mesosphere is identified by two linked features: many incoming meteoroids burn there because of friction with atmospheric gases, and temperature falls strongly with height, reaching extremely low values near the mesopause. Therefore option D combines the most diagnostic clues. Rain and fog belong mainly to the troposphere, ozone-related warming is characteristic of the stratosphere, and gradual merging with space describes the exosphere.
