Which thermal structure is produced by ultraviolet absorption by ozone in the stratosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Temperature increase with height
Ozone absorbs incoming ultraviolet radiation and converts part of that energy into heat. Because ozone absorption is especially important in the upper stratosphere, temperature generally increases with altitude through the stratosphere, creating a temperature inversion relative to the troposphere. Therefore B is correct. Pressure does not sharply increase upward, rain is not produced at every height, and molecules are not completely absent.
