The ozone layer is located in the lower stratosphere, not the mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere, or troposphere. There is some ozone found in the all layers of the atmosphere, just not at very high concentrations. See the link below for more. There is some ozone in every layer of the atmosphere. It is minimum in the exosphere, and in the lower troposphere. The most total ozone, and the maximum ozone concentration are found in the lower stratosphere. This region is called he "ozone layer". Ozone is located in all layers of the atmosphere. Ozone is in the highest concentration (10ppm) in the tropopause (or lower part of the stratosphere), decreasing to near zero above or below this region. It increases slightly again (<1 ppm) in the troposphere, due in part to the actions of Man.

Which layer of the earth contains the lower mantle?

The lower mantle is located in the middle layer of the Earth's interior, known as the mantle. The mantle is divided into two main regions: the upper mantle and the lower mantle. The lower mantle is situated beneath the upper mantle and above the outer core.


What is after the ozone layer?

The layer ozone is present in the stratosphere. It protects us from the Uv rays. The layer after that is Mesosphere.


What layer contains the lithosphere asthenosphere and mesosphere?

The lithosphere, asthenosphere, and mesosphere are all located within the Earth's upper mantle, which is part of the mantle layer. The lithosphere is the rigid outermost layer of the Earth, including the crust and uppermost mantle. The asthenosphere is a partially molten layer below the lithosphere, while the mesosphere is a solid layer beneath the asthenosphere.


Why is the mesosphere colder than the troposphere?

The mesosphere is colder than the troposphere because there is very little air in the mesosphere to absorb and retain heat from the sun. Additionally, the ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs solar radiation, creating a temperature inversion that results in lower temperatures in the mesosphere.


The mesosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that contains ozone?

All layers of the atmosphere contain ozone. The lower part of the stratosphere contains the highest concentration, dubbed "the ozone layer". The mesosphere is not dense enough to stop much UV-C from the Sun, so consequently not much ozone is formed there.No.


What atmosphere layer is the stratosphere?

The layer above the troposphere, and below the mesosphere. Near the equator, this places the stratosphere between 10 and 50 km in altitude. It is lower at the poles.


What contains the lower mantle?

The mantle extends to the core-mantle interface at approximately 2900 km depth. Thus, the mantle contains the lower portion of the lithosphere, the asthenosphere, and the mesosphere. The crust is made of the upper portion of the lithosphere.


What layer of the earth has shooting stars and meteorites?

A meteorite is an object from space that has hit the surface of earth. Therefore you will find them at the bottom of the troposphere. However, you were probably refering to meteors. Most meteors are visible in the lower themosphere or upper troposphere.


Temperatures decrease in the third layer of the atmosphere the what?

Temperatures decrease in the third layer of the atmosphere, the mesosphere, because it is where the majority of solar radiation is absorbed by the lower layers of the atmosphere. As a result, the mesosphere has less warming from the sun and experiences cooling due to the decreasing density of air molecules with height.
