What is the relationship between temperature and altitude in the stratosphere? (2 points) as altitude increases, temperature decreases. / as altitude increases, temperature increases. / as altitude increases, temperatures remain the same. / as altitude increases, temperatures vary.

As altitude increases, temperature increases.

Explanation:

As the air temperature and pressure all depends on the atmospheric gases in the environment and thus similar the increase if the height above the mean sea levels tell us of the rise and fall in the temperatures as the layer of the air becomes rarified as we go up higher in the air and hence thus the troposphere has a temperature inversion and remain till the tropopause. But there is a rise in the temperatures again at the outer limits of the stratosphere the temperature slowly begins to rise as it reaches to exosphere and the stratospheric ozone gas get heated up by the impact of the sun's rays.
