In this region, air temperature increases with altitude, a phenomenon known as thermal inversion.
The name of this region stems from its relative lack of convection. In this region, air temperature increases with altitude, a phenomenon known as thermal inversion. That phenomenon in this layer is mainly caused by the absorption of ultraviolet light by a triatomic compound of oxygen, ozone. The lower boundary of this layer is called the tropopause. For 10 points, name this layer of the earth's atmosphere located between the troposphere and mesosphere.
