Question

The graph shows how temperature relates to altitude. Which two statements are supported by the data in the graph?

Answer 1

The temperature in the thermosphere increases because the Sun’s ultraviolet and x-ray radiation are absorbed here.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the second statement that is supported by the literature, but cannot be seen via the graph, so make certain that you select this answer as well. The question requires that you select TWO statements supported by the graph data.

Answer 2

Here, we can see in the given picture, The lowest temperature was observed in the Mesophere layer. The temperature is gradually decreasing from 0°C to -100°C(approx.) as the altitude increases. So we can say that,

Appropriate Answer:-

The mesosphere tends to get colder at higher altitudes.

Rest options are not correct because of the wrong observation and reason provided which are matching to the predictions made from the picture.
