  2.    Stratosphere
  3.    Mesosphere 
  4.    Thermosphere 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Stratosphere
:
B
About 90% of ozone is present in the stratosphere. It is between 10 and 17 kilometers above the Earth's surface and extends up to 50 kilometers. This layer protects the Earth from the harmful UV rays.

Question 6. Increase in amount of carbon dioxide in air results in:
  1.    Global cooling
  2.    Global warming
  3.    Global radiation
  4.    Global pressurization

Answer: Option B. -> Global warming
:
B
Increase in amount of carbon dioxide in air results in global warming and greenhouse effect.
Most of the radiations that Earth receives by the Sun is reflected back.Earth gets heated up by these reflected radiations and this heat is trapped by the atmosphere. This phenomenon is called green house effect and due to this heating there is an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere. This iscalled global warming.
