Ultraviolet radiation which is absorbed by the atmosphere as it destroys and 19. Use figure 17-2 to describe temperature changes in the stratospherecreates ozone. The level where the destruction and creation of ozone take place it is referred to as ozone layer.
As the ultraviolet radiation is being absorbed then it heats the air.
The highest temperature and most action occur at the stratopause within the boundaries of mesosphere and stratosphere.
The temperature here is high and it must rise through the stratosphere and it is from the cold tropopause to the stratopause which is hot then it falls away back to the mesosphere.
