Question
Chapter 20, Problem 45SCQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The environmental consequences of ozone in the stratosphere and troposphere are to be given.
Concept introduction:
Layers of atmosphere:
- Troposphere
- Stratosphere
- Mesosphere
- Thermosphere
Troposphere is atmosphere’s lowest part and it contain majority of water vapor and about
Stratosphere is the atmospheric layer extending from tropopause to about
