Why can temperature increase with height in the stratosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Due to absorption of radiation by ozone
In the stratosphere, ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the Sun and converts part of that energy into heat. Ozone concentration is significant in the upper stratosphere, so temperature generally rises with increasing altitude there, producing a stable layer. Thus, option D is correct. Clouds, sea breezes, and soil erosion are not the governing causes of this vertical temperature pattern.
