The ozone layer present in the
Correct answer: B. stratosphere
- A. troposphere
- B. stratosphere
- C. mesosphere
- D. atmosphere
Explanation
Ozone Layer: It is a thin part of Earth's atmosphere that absorbs almost all of the sun's harmful ultraviolet light. EARTH'S ATMOSPHERIC LAYERS: Earth's atmosphere has a series of layers, each with its own specific traits. Moving upward from ground level, these layers are called the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. The Ozone layer is around 15-30 km above the earth's surface. From the above diagram, we know that this region lies in the stratosphere. Thus, option 'B' is correct.
