Which layer has more volume of oxygen between the troposphere and stratosphere?
it has more mass
What atmospheric region has more ozone content?
The bottom of the stratosphere, commonly called the ozone layer.
Why is the stratosphere heated from the top down?
The temperature in the stratosphere increases with altitude because the ozone lies in the stratosphere. The ozone layer absorbs harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. Higher in the stratosphere the ozone is thicker and absorbes more radiation, which makes it warmer.
What is one more word for the ozone layer- like thermosphere or stratosphere?
There is no other single word for "ozone layer". The lower region of the stratosphere is also called the tropopause, and it still contains nitrogen, oxygen, argon, water vapor, and other things besides ~10 ppm of ozone. Think of it as a global cloud cover, only not involving water crystals / droplets.
What layer is located in the stratosphere?
The mesosphere extends from the stratopause to about 53 miles (85 km) above the earth. The gases, including the oxygen molecules, continue to become thinner and thinner with height. As such, the effect of the warming by ultraviolet radiation also becomes less and less leading to a decrease in temperature with height. On average, temperature decreases from about 5°F (-15°C) to as low as -184°F (-120°C) at the mesopause. However, the gases in the mesosphere are still thick enough to slow down meteorites hurtling into the atmosphere, where they burn up, leaving fiery trails in the night sky.
Which pollutes the ozone layer more oil or gas?
Gases pollute ozone more. It is because they move up to stratosphere to deplete it.
Where the ozone layer?
The ozone layer is a region with a relatively high concentration of ozone, and is located near the bottom of the stratosphere. It is located 8 to 50km above sea level. The altitude varies with latitude, 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. Ozone is found in some concentration in all layers of the atmosphere. Ozone in the troposphere (near Earth's surface) 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. Some ozone is found in every layer of the atmosphere (usually less than 1 ppm, except for the stratosphere).(for more information, see the related question)The ozone layer is in the upper atmosphere of the earth.
What is the meaning of strato?
Strato means a combining form representing stratus This means layer. here are some examples that have the word Strato in it The stratosphere is the next highest atmospheric layer. There are no clouds in the stratosphere. Commercial jets fly in the lower part of the stratosphere. As you go higher in the stratosphere, you pass through layers of increasing temperature. "Strato" is Latin for "layer, sheet. The strato volcano = a volcano built up of alternate layers of lava and ash . strato dessert = a desert that has more than one layer . * notice that the examples i gave you all mentioned many layers or more than one layer . so what i am trying to say is strato is more than one layer . I really hoped this helped and thanks for reading this information . :)
Can the ozone layer be rebuilt by releasing ozone into the stratosphere?
No.It would do even more damage to the ozone layer in making it and lifting it to altitude, than you would achieve as improvement.
Which layer of earth's atmosphere contains a gas that absorbs ultraviolet radiation?
All parts of the atmosphere contain gases that absorb UV-B and more energetic radiation. All parts of our atmosphere pass UV-A.
Why does temperature increase with height through the stratosphere?
Ozone absorbs more ultraviolet radiation than does air in the troposphere. As a result, the stratosphere is heated, and air gradually increases in temperature to the top of the layer, called the startopause.
What is the comparative and superlative of the word plentiful?
more plentiful, most plentiful
