Which statement is correct for understanding the mesosphere thermally?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Temperature falls with height and mesopause is cold
The governing concept is the mesosphere’s lapse-rate pattern. In this layer, temperature generally decreases as altitude increases because the air is thin and there is limited absorption of solar energy. The mesopause, its upper boundary, is therefore extremely cold. The claim of continuous warming describes the thermosphere, while most water vapour and weather are found in the troposphere.
