Without the ozone layer, which effect on the stratospheric temperature trend would be reduced?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Upward temperature increase
Ozone absorbs a significant part of incoming ultraviolet radiation. That absorption heats the stratosphere and produces its characteristic increase of temperature with altitude through much of the layer. If ozone were absent, this radiative warming and the upward temperature increase would be reduced, so option A is correct. Rainfall, exospheric rarefaction, and meteor burning are controlled by different processes and are not the direct effect asked about.
