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 !

Make some inferences as to why you feel the Southern Colonies had the most slaves and why New England had the fewest (hint: cons
Fed [463]

Answer:

The Southern Colonies had fertile soil and had a flatter geography.

The New England Colonies in the North had rocky soil and had hills/mountains inland which made them more on the industry side (this is also how the Union won the Civil War later on, the North was able to manufacture things while the South had mostly agricultural plantations). There wasn't much use for slaves in a factory, and much more in the South where plantations and large farms were.

The North was very religious besides Pennsylvania where the Quakers resided.

The South barely was religious because your nearest neighbor would be a few farms over, so you don't really converse with them much.
