Question
The zone of atmosphere in which the ozone layer is present is called
Open in App
Solution
Stratosphere
The air is thinner in the stratosphere. Therefore, it is easier for the ultraviolet radiation in the stratosphere to interact with oxygen molecules, resulting in the splitting up of oxygen molecules into two atoms of oxygen. These free oxygen atoms combine with other oxygen molecules forming ozone (O3).
Final answer
(D) Stratosphere
