NDA 2026 · PYQ · Climatology / Atmosphere · medium
Consider the following pairs:
Layers of Atmosphere : Characteristics
I. Troposphere : Absorbs ultraviolet radiation
II. Stratosphere : Changes in weather and climate
III. Mesosphere : Reflects radio waves back to the Earth
How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?
A.None✓ Correct
B.One
C.Two
D.All the three
Explanation
None of the pairs is correctly matched. The Troposphere is the layer where weather changes and climate phenomena occur (not UV absorption). The Stratosphere contains the ozone layer which absorbs ultraviolet radiation (not weather changes). Radio waves are reflected back by the Ionosphere (within the Thermosphere), not the Mesosphere. Therefore, all three pairings are incorrect.
