Ozone Questions with solutions MCQs

1. The Ozone gas found in which of the following layers of the atmosphere absorbs harmful UV radiations and prevents them from reaching the earth`s surface?

A

Troposphere

B

Stratosphere

C

Mesosphere

D

Thermosphere

Ozone General Science
Correct Answer : B
Explanation :

Most ozone (about 90%) is found in the stratosphere, which begins at about 10–16 kilometres above Earth`s surface and extends to an altitude of about 50 kilometres. Ozone in the stratosphere protects life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation and is therefore often called good ozone.

A

Dobson Unit

B

Darson Unit

C

Datsun Unit

3. Ozone acts as an air pollutant and becomes harmful to the living organisms when present in which of the following layers of the atmosphere?

A

Ionosphere

B

Troposphere

C

Stratosphere

D

Mesosphere

Ozone General Science VERIFIED
Correct Answer : B
Explanation :

Ozone in the stratosphere protects life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation and is therefore often called good ozone. This is in contrast to ozone in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere, where it is an air pollutant and can be harmful to humans, animals and vegetation.

Ozone JKPSI 2022 CBT
Correct Answer : B
Explanation :

Ground-level ozone (O3), also known as surface-level ozone and tropospheric ozone, is a trace gas in the troposphere (the lowest level of the Earth`s atmosphere), with an average concentration of 20–30 parts per billion by volume (ppbv), with close to 100 ppbv in polluted areas.
