In which zone of the atmosphere, the ozone layer is present?
Answers
Ozone is mainly found in two regions of the Earth's atmosphere. Most ozone (about 90%) resides in a layer that begins between 6 and 10 miles (10 and 17 kilometers) above the Earth's surface and extends up to about 30 miles (50 kilometers). This region of the atmosphere is called the stratosphere.
Answer:
The ozone layer is in Stratosphere.
Explanation:
Ozone layer also known as ozone shield is mainly composed of ozone. It is a layer of earth's atmosphere and it is found in the lower region of Stratosphere. Stratosphere is one the main layers of earth's atmosphere.
This layer was discovered by the fact that the UV rays emitted from the surface of the sun is so much reduced when it enters the lower atmospheric region. About 97% of the sun's UV light is drawn up by ozone layer.
