The source of the warmth of the stratosphere is the absorption of UV radiation by ozone, hence reduced ozone leads to cooling.

Diff bet large and small intestine?
Small intestine is concerned primarily with absorption of nutrients whereas the large intestine is concerned primarily with the absorption of water.
How is ozone produced in the stratosphere depleted?
Ozone depletion in the stratosphere is primarily caused by the release of certain chemicals known as ozone-depleting substances (ODS), such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). These chemicals contain chlorine and bromine atoms that are released into the atmosphere through human activities. When these molecules reach the stratosphere, they are broken down by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, releasing chlorine and bromine atoms that can then catalytically destroy ozone molecules. This process leads to the depletion of ozone in the stratosphere.
The protective ozone layer is found in the?
Ozone is generally found in most parts of the Earth's atmosphere, but the highest levels are recorded on the stratosphere region, namely the ozone layer. The plethora of ozone, represented by O3, serves to absorb the Sun's ultraviolet high frequency radiations, which life depends on.
Telescopes are placed in space to view distant galaxies primarily to?
aviod the absorption of the light or other radiations in the atmosphere of earth
The growing season of plants is primarily influenced by?
temperature
Clouds form primarily at the boundary between?
the troposphere and the stratosphere
Diff bet large and small intestine?
Small intestine is concerned primarily with absorption of nutrients whereas the large intestine is concerned primarily with the absorption of water.
The earth's atmosphere is divided into layers based on changes in the vertical profile of?
The layers are defined primarily by the "lapse rate", or change in temperature with increasing altitude. The lapse rate is negative (temperature falls) in the troposphere, but positive (temperature rises) in the stratosphere. Temperatures decrease again when ascending into the Mesosphere.
What is the function of descending colon?
Its function is primarily the absorption of water from fecal matter.

Is the moon in the earth's ozone layer?
No. The Moon is "in" the exosphere, and the levels of ozone there are non-detect. The ozone layer is primarily in the stratosphere.
How does UV light treatment work?
Ultraviolet (UV) light treatment is used primarily in cases of severe psoriasis that have not responded to other medications or in cases affecting large portions of the body.
Temperature is determined primarily by what?
latitude and altitude
The exosphere Is filled with electrically charged ions?
This is primarily the ionosphere that contains the ions.
