Question

6 why is the top of the stratosphere warmer than the bottom?
a there is an increase in carbon dioxide c the suns light heats it from above
levels d ocean water draws down heat
b there is a decrease in air pressure

Explanation:

The stratosphere contains ozone. Ozone absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun. The top of the stratosphere has more ozone, so it absorbs more UV radiation (from the Sun above) and gets warmer. Carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) is mainly a concern in the troposphere for the greenhouse effect. Decrease in air pressure (\(B\)) doesn't directly cause the temperature inversion (warmer at top). Ocean water (\(D\)) has no direct role in stratospheric temperature variation.

Answer:

C. The Sun's light heats it from above
