Which layer above the mesopause shows a rapid rise in temperature?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Thermosphere
The governing concept is the temperature pattern of the atmosphere. In the mesosphere, temperature generally decreases with height until the mesopause, one of the coldest atmospheric boundaries. Above this boundary, the thermosphere begins, and it absorbs energetic ultraviolet and X-ray radiation, causing temperature to rise rapidly with altitude. The other options are either below the mesopause or higher than the required layer.
