What is the purpose of the ozone layer in the stratosphere?

Answer 1

the ozone layer is actually in the stratosphere. when that layer gets depleted, the UV rays penetrate into the troposphere and eventually form ozone there. the ozone formed there is the tropospheric ozone. this ozone however has a short photochemical life in the troposphere and thus disintegrates too fast to consolidate its structure.

Answer 2

Things that are designed and made have a "purpose", the word cannot be applied to a natural phenomena.

Therefore the EFFECT of the existence of the stratospheric ozone layer, is the reduction in harmful UV Sunlight rays at the Earth's surface.

Answer 3

Ozone layer present in stratosphere is known as good ozone. Ozone layer blocks around 97% of the total radiation received by the earth. It acts as a blanket and keeps the atmosphere cool. It is responsible for the survival of life on earth.

Answer 4

The ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs and filters out the majority of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, protecting life on Earth from its damaging effects. Without the ozone layer, increased UV radiation would lead to higher rates of skin cancer, cataracts, and other health issues in humans, as well as harm to ecosystems.

Answer 5

The stratospheric ozone layer is very important for the life on earth. It is a pool of ozone molecules in the atmosphere.

Answer 6

There are small amounts of a gas called Ozone in the earth's upper atmosphere scientists call this Ozone Layer

Answer 7

Ozone is concentrated at 20-40 km above earth with highest concentration 6-8 parts per million. It is present in the stratosphere of the earth's atmosphere.
