Where in the atmosphere does the ozone layer reside?
Where in the atmosphere does the ozone layer reside?
Tap to reveal answer
The ozone layer is far enough from organisms not to harm them, but also is close enough to the Earth's surface to maintain the proper temperature and hold its layer rigidity. The stratosphere is the correct answer.
