Which layer of the atmosphere contains the ozone layer?
Troposphere
Stratosphere
Mesosphere
Thermosphere
Stratosphere
The stratosphere contains the bulk of atmospheric ozone, forming the ozone layer which absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. This layer lies approximately 10 to 50 kilometers above Earth's surface and experiences a temperature increase with altitude due to UV absorption.
The stratosphere contains the bulk of atmospheric ozone, forming the ozone layer which absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. This layer lies approximately 10 to 50 kilometers above Earth's surface and experiences a temperature increase with altitude due to UV absorption.
Atmospheric layering is classified based on vertical temperature profiles into the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.
The stratosphere extends from about 10 to 50 kilometers above Earth's surface.
Ozone concentration peaks in the lower stratosphere, forming the critical ozone shield.
The ozone layer absorbs nearly 99 percent of harmful solar ultraviolet radiation.
Troposphere is the lowest atmospheric layer where all weather phenomena occur and temperature decreases with height.
Mesosphere is the coldest atmospheric layer where incoming meteors burn up upon entry.
Thermosphere contains the ionosphere, which facilitates long-distance radio communication.
B is correct тАФ The stratosphere is the atmospheric layer that houses the ozone layer, which protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet radiation.
Competitive exams frequently test the temperature trends and altitude ranges of various atmospheric layers, frequently linking physical geography with environmental science topics like ozone depletion.
