2

The ozone layer is in which of Earth's atmospheric layers?

66% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

troposphere

thermosphere

mesosphere


Solution

The stratosphere is just above the troposphere and is stratified in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to Earth. This increase in temperature is a result of absorption of the Sun's radiation by the ozone layer.

A human heart consists of how many chambers?

84% Answer Correctly
