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 $\text{75\%}$ of all the air. Tropopause is the name for the top of troposphere.

Stratosphere is the atmospheric layer extending from tropopause to about $\text{50}\text{km}$ This part contain much ozone in the atmosphere. The ozone in this region absorbs u-v radiation and protects us from harmful health issues by u-v radiation.
