denoted chemically as O 3. Ozone is found primarily in two regions of the atmosphere. the troposphere, the region closest to Earth (from the surface to about 10–16 kilometers (6–10 miles)). (about 90%) resides in the stratosphere between the top of the troposphere and about 50 kilometers (31 miles) altitude.

Explain the role of the ozone layer in sustaining life on Earth. Explain how ozone in the stratosphere is formed What percentage of ozone is contained in the stratosphere? The following is a chemical reaction for _____ with ozone. Compare the health and environmental risks associated with ground-level ozone to the health and environmental risks associated with ozone layer depletion. Impervious surfaces like asphalt and concrete channel water across their tops until the water finds a point where it can infiltrate the ground. As it passes across these impervious surface the water gathers chemicals and debris that have collected and concentrates them at the point of infiltration.

Concentrations of stratospheric ozone represent a balance, established over eons, between creative and destructive forces and this balance, or dynamic equilibrium, has been changed by human activity. Ozone is formed in the earth's stratosphere and is critical to life on earth as we know it. There is compelling scientific evidence that ozone is destroyed in the stratosphere and that some human-released chemicals are speeding up the breakdown of ozone in the atmosphere. CFCs, a human-developed compound, are particularly destructive to the breakdown of ozone in the atmosphere.

Stratospheric Ozone, the Protector This section provides an overview of the ozone layer, that is, the layer of life-protecting ozone found at the top of the stratosphere. A brief history of the discovery of the ozone 'hole' is included. The general concepts found in this section include the following:

In the graphic below, the destructive cycle of a chlorine atom is shown. 1  UV radiation breaks off a chlorine atom from a CFC molecule. 2  The chlorine atom attacks an ozone molecule (), breaking it apart and destroying the ozone. 3  The result is an ordinary oxygen molecule () and a chlorine monoxide molecule (ClO).

In the stratosphere, ozone absorbs virtually all of the solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation with wavelengths of less than 290 nanometers (nm) and most of it in the biologically harmful wavelength region of 290 to 320 nm (which is called UVB).

FOREWORD: This is a tutorial and teacher's guide for classroom studies in both high schools and colleges. It provides a summary in easy-to-understand terms of the current scientific understanding of ozone depletion (i.e., ozone destruction in the stratosphere or 'ozone hole').

Ozone in the Stratosphere About 90% of the ozone in the Earth's atmosphere is found in the region called the stratosphere. This is the atmospheric layer between 16 and 48 kilometers (10 and 30 miles) above the Earth's surface.

Ozone in the Stratosphere. About 90% of the ozone in the Earth's atmosphere is found in the region called the stratosphere. This is the atmospheric layer between 16 and 48 kilometers (10 and 30 miles) above the Earth's surface. Ozone forms a kind of layer in the stratosphere, where it is more concentrated than anywhere else. Ozone and oxygen molecules in the stratosphere absorb ultraviolet light from the Sun, providing a shield that prevents this radiation from passing to the Earth's surface.

This is also known as the ozone layer because of the critical role that ozone plays there in protecting the earth from ultraviolet radiation. The stratosphere, or ozone layer, is located approximately 6 to 30 miles above the earth’s surface.
