A small research in google :

"<span>Temperatures rise with increasing altitude in the stratosphere. Ozone molecules in the stratosphere absorb ultraviolet radiation coming from the Sun. The energy from the UV radiation is transformed into heat. The heating is most intense near the top of the stratosphere, so that is where the stratosphere is warmest."

In short, the stratosphere is warmest at the top because it absorbs UV radiation and also more the altitude is high more it's warm.

Hope this helps !

Why did China believe the building of the Three Gorges Dam was an absolute necessity in terms of energy production?
Anna [14]
China believes that building the Three Gorges Dam was an absolute necessity in terms of energy production because it can generate hydro-electric energy from Yangtze River. This hydro-electric-producing dam would generate less pollution than coal-fire generation and would slow the river from overflowing and destroying nearby villages.

Which of the following is not a responsibility of a fire watch?
vekshin1

Answer: D

Explanation: Maintaining a watch for at least a half hour after completion of welding operations is not a responsibility of a fire watch.

A fire watch has the responsibility of detecting fires early so that they can be extinguished quickly thus preventing or minimizing damages to land and property. They are familiar with alarms systems and procedures, maintaining fire fighting equipment and also trained in their use.

Fire watches are often employed in forested areas with risk of fires (high) or in industrial settings where hot work is occurring such as welding or metal grinding.
