What is the correct difference in spatial distribution of ozone and water vapour in the atmosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Ozone is mainly higher in the stratosphere and water vapour mainly in the lower atmosphere
The governing idea is the vertical distribution of atmospheric constituents. Most atmospheric water vapour is concentrated in the lower atmosphere because evaporation occurs near Earth’s surface and warm air holds moisture. In contrast, the greatest ozone concentration is in the stratosphere, where it absorbs ultraviolet radiation. Thus option A correctly states the difference; the other options place both substances in incorrect regions.
