Which layer comes directly above the stratosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mesosphere
The governing concept is the vertical order of the atmosphere. From the surface upward, the principal layers are troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Consequently, the mesosphere is directly above the stratosphere, so option B is correct. The troposphere is below it, the exosphere is much higher, and the tropopause is a boundary at the top of the troposphere rather than a layer above the stratosphere.
