How is the ozone layer being caused?

Ozone is produced when UV-C is absorbed by oxygen molecules. These molecules break apart due to this energy, and some of them recombine into ozone. UV-C is also absorbed by nitrogen, so at some point all the UV-C is gone and no more ozone can be directly formed with just light. Hence the "layer" has a bottom.
