In which atmospheric layer are harmful ultraviolet rays largely absorbed?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Stratosphere
Most harmful ultraviolet radiation is absorbed in the stratosphere by ozone molecules concentrated in the ozone layer. Ozone absorbs especially important portions of UV radiation and thereby reduces the amount reaching Earth’s surface. Therefore, option C is correct. The troposphere contains most weather, while the mesosphere and exosphere are not the principal locations of the protective ozone layer.
