In which layer can special polar clouds play a role in ozone chemistry even though normal clouds are few?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Stratosphere
The governing concept is the atmospheric location of the ozone layer and polar stratospheric clouds. The stratosphere is generally dry and has few ordinary clouds, but at very low polar temperatures, specialised ice or nitric-acid clouds can form there. Their surfaces support chemical reactions that convert inactive chlorine compounds into forms capable of destroying ozone. The other layers do not fit these clues.
