The zone of atmosphere in which the ozone layer is present is called:
Ionosphere
Mesosphere
Stratosphere
Troposphere
@11421
Ozone layer -
There is ‘good’ ozone also; this ozone is found in the upper part of the atmosphere called the stratosphere, and it acts as a shield absorbing ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
- wherein
UV rays are highly injurious to living organisms since DNA and proteins of living organisms preferentially absorb UV rays, and its high energy breaks the chemical bonds within these molecules.
