In which atmospheric layer is the ozone layer mainly located?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Stratosphere
The governing concept is the vertical distribution of ozone. Most atmospheric ozone is concentrated in the stratosphere, roughly 15–35 kilometres above Earth, where it absorbs much of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet-B and ultraviolet-C radiation. Therefore option B is correct. The troposphere contains weather, the mesosphere lies above the ozone-rich region, and the exosphere is far too thin and remote to contain the main ozone layer.
