This layer of the atmosphere contains the ozone layer and increases in temperature as altitude increases.

• Troposphere
• Stratosphere
• Mesosphere
• Ionosphere
• Exosphere

This layer of the atmosphere is the middle and coldest layer, reaching temperatures of -90C.

Do air pressure and temperature change in the same way with altitude?

• Yes
• No
• Maybe

Why does temperature increase with height in the stratosphere.

• It is moving away from Earth's surface.
• It contains the Ozone Layer.
• It doesn't, it decreases with height.
• It is moving closer to Earth's surface.
