Which Atmosphere term is correctly associated with location: “extends from the tropopause to the stratopause”, and also with “temperature rises with height because ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation”?

Correct Answer: Option B — Stratosphere. Stratosphere is correct because it is extends from the tropopause to the stratopause. Stratosphere is also associated with temperature rises with height because ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation. A further identifying fact is that Stratosphere is temperature rises with height because ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation. Another useful fact is that Stratosphere is associated with it is relatively stable and has little vertical mixing. Why the other options are incorrect: Option A — Mesosphere: It is extends to the mesopause and is associated with it contains some of the coldest atmospheric temperatures; those are the identifying facts of Mesosphere. Option C — Thermosphere: It is lies above the mesopause and is associated with temperature rises greatly as high-energy radiation is absorbed; those are the identifying facts of Thermosphere. Option D — Exosphere: It is gradually merges into outer space and is associated with particles are extremely sparse; those are the identifying facts of Exosphere. Exam Takeaway: Link Stratosphere with “extends from the tropopause to the stratopause” and “temperature rises with height because ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation” for quick revision.
