In which layer of Earth's atmosphere is the ozone layer primarily found?
A
Mesosphere
B
Troposphere
C
Stratosphere
D
None of the above
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the structure of Earth's atmosphere, which is divided into several layers: Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere.
Recall that the ozone layer is a region with a high concentration of ozone (O₃) molecules, which play a critical role in absorbing and blocking the majority of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
Identify the layer where the ozone layer is primarily located. The ozone layer is found in the Stratosphere, which lies above the Troposphere and below the Mesosphere.
Note that the Stratosphere extends approximately 10 to 50 kilometers above Earth's surface, and the ozone layer is concentrated between 15 to 35 kilometers within this layer.
Confirm that the correct answer is 'Stratosphere,' as it is the layer where the ozone layer is primarily found, and eliminate the other options as they do not match this description.
