Why is the ozone layer considered more effective in the stratosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation there and changes thermal structure
The governing concept is ozone absorption of solar ultraviolet radiation. The stratosphere contains the greatest concentration of atmospheric ozone, and ozone absorbs much of the incoming UV energy. This absorption heats the surrounding air and produces the characteristic temperature increase with altitude in the stratosphere. Clouds and weather are mainly concentrated in the troposphere, the air is not densest in the stratosphere, and Earth’s surface is far below it. Therefore, option A is correct.
