Which is the correct difference in temperature trend between the troposphere and stratosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Temperature falls in the troposphere and rises in the stratosphere
The governing concept is the different heating structure of adjacent atmospheric layers. In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases with height because the layer is heated mainly from Earth’s surface. In the stratosphere, ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation, so temperature generally increases upward. Hence option D describes the opposite trends correctly. Options A and B ignore the contrast, while option C reverses both trends.
