Why does stratospheric ozone affect the temperature trend?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it absorbs ultraviolet energy and produces heat
The governing concept is radiative heating of the stratosphere. Ozone absorbs a significant part of incoming ultraviolet radiation, and that absorbed energy is converted into heat, producing the characteristic temperature structure in which temperature generally rises with altitude through much of the stratosphere. It does not liquefy every gas, remove Earth’s shadow, or stop ocean currents, so option A is the only valid explanation.
