In which layer is a large amount of ozone generally found?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Stratosphere
Most atmospheric ozone is concentrated in the stratosphere, mainly between about 15 and 35 kilometres above Earth’s surface. This region is called the ozone layer and absorbs much of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, option D is correct. Small quantities occur in the troposphere, but tropospheric ozone is a pollutant; the mesosphere and exosphere are not the principal ozone layer.
