-At least for the stratosphere,______________ .
A) ozone appears to be evenly distributed at all altitudes 
B) increases of temperature and ozone levels are strongly correlated 
C) temperature continues to decrease with altitude as in the troposphere 
D) the average temperature is much lower than for the troposphere 
E) temperature and ozone concentration are inversely correlated

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the stratosphere, temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by ozone. This process also correlates with increases in ozone levels, hence the strong correlation between temperature and ozone levels.
