Why is the stratosphere considered a relatively calm layer for weather?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because vertical air mixing is limited
The stratosphere is relatively stable because temperature generally increases with height through much of this layer. This temperature structure suppresses strong vertical convection and limits turbulent mixing, so clouds and storms are uncommon there. Soil, oceans, and constant rainfall are not characteristics of the stratosphere; therefore option B is correct.
