The temperature of troposphere decrease with increase in altitude. Is the same true of stratosphere? Justify.

Answer»

Solution :The layer of atmosphere which is CLOSE to earth's SURFACE is called troposphere. Hence the temperature of troposphere is inversely proportional to distance between surface of the earth and the different regions of troposphere. Hence temperature in this layer decreases with INCREASE in altitude.
Interconversion of ozone and oxygen is more in the upper layer of stratosphere. During this process lot of HEAT energy is RELEASED and hence with increasing altitude temperature also increases in stratophere.
