Which layer of the earths atmosphere is the ozone layer located?

Answer 1

It is in the stratosphere, located 8 to 50km above sea level. The ozone layer surrounds the earth, meaning that it's wrapped around earth. The altitude varies with latitude as well, placing the stratosphere and the ozone layer closer to the Earth's surface over the poles.

The highest concentration is in the lower stratosphere, also called the tropopause, and the ozone here is called the ozone layer. Ozone is also found in the lower atmosphere, also called the troposphere, and the ozone here is one component of smog.

Ozone concentrations vary from near zero at extreme elevations (high in the exosphere), to a maximum (~9 ppm) at the bottom of the stratosphere, to zero again near Earth's surface (the troposphere ends here). So some ozone is found in every layer of the atmopshere (usually less than 1 ppm, except for the stratosphere).

When it is winter at one of the poles, there is no UV-C to make ozone, and since ozone decays with time, an "ozone hole" forms. The size of the hole depends on how many contaminants are present to accelerate the decay of ozone.

As with the whole atmosphere, all layers (except the upper exosphere) have about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and traces of other gases.

Answer 2

Ozone layer is located in Stratosphere. It is approximately 20 to 30 kilometres (12 to 19 mi) above Earth, though the thickness varies seasonally and geographically

Answer 3

The ozone layer is present in the lower stratospheric region of the atmosphere Somewhere between 10 to 40 km .

Answer 4

The ozone layer is located in the stratospheric region of the atmosphere. It is a pool of ozone molecules spread all around the globe.

Answer 5

the stratosphere

Answer 6
