Ozonosphere is component of

  1. Troposphere

  2. Stratosphere

  3. Mesosphere

  4. Thermosphere


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Troposphere is the layer where all weather occurs. this is the lowest layer.

Above the troposphere lies the stratosphere where temperatures increase with altitude because of increasing amounts of ozone. The ozone layer within the stratosphere absorbs harmful ultraviolet rays of sunlight. After that comes mesosphere and thermosphere. So the correct answer is 'Stratosphere '

In thermosphere the temperature

  1. Rises with height to $200^0$ C

  2. Rises with height to $1500^0$ C

  3. First decreases then rises

  4. Decreases to - $150^0$ C


Correct Option: B

Lapse rate in troposphere is

  1. $3.1^0$ C/km

  2. $6.5^0$ C/km

  3. $9.8^0$ C/km

  4. $13.6^0 C/km


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Troposphere is the lowest layer in the earth's atmosphere. it is the same layer in which all the change in weather takes place. Lapse rate is the rate at which the temperature drops due to the difference in elevation. the more the altitude the more the drop in temperature is there. The lapse rate of $6.5$ is there for the level of $0$ to  $11,000$ m. This is the region in which troposphere lies. 

So, the correct answer is ' $6.5^oC$$/Km$. '

Which one is nearly absent in ozonosphere?

  1. Dust particles

  2. Water vapours

  3. CO$ _2$

  4. All the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The Ozone layer or ozone shield is a region of Earth's stratosphere that absorbs most of the Sun's ultraviolet radiation. It contains high concentrations of ozone (O3) in relation to other parts of the atmosphere, although still small in relation to other gases in the stratosphere. As the ozonosphere only contains high levels of ozone gas, therefore all the other things such as the dust particles. water vapours and CO2 are absent from it. 

So, the correct answer is 'All of the above. '

Mesosphere is component of

  1. Atmosphere

  2. Hydrosphere

  3. Lithosphere

  4. Both A and B


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Earth's atmosphere is divided into five main layers: the exosphere, the thermosphere, the mesosphere, the stratosphere and the troposphere. Therefore mesosphere is the second most layer of the atmosphere measure from the surface of the earth and is therefore a component of the atmosphere. The mesosphere is directly above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. It extends from about 50 to 85 km (31 to 53 miles) above our planet.
So, the correct answer is 'Atmosphere'.

Which layer of atmosphere is important for telecommunications?

  1. Troposphere

  2. Ozonosphere

  3. Mesosphere

  4. Thermosphere


Correct Option: A

The layer of atmosphere which protects the living beings from harmful rays is 

  1. Mesosphere

  2. Ozonosphere

  3. Thermosphere

  4. Both B and C


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ozone is concentrated mainly in the stratosphere, where it absorbs solar radiation, protecting Earth's living organisms from the ultraviolet light from the sun. UV radiation is harmful to DNA; without the atmosphere's ozone, living organisms could not exist and thrive as they do now. The area in which ozone is concentrated in stratosphere is called the ozonosphere, So the correct answer is 'Both B and C'.

UV radiations absorbed by ozone layer are

  1. UV-C

  2. Complete UV-C and a large amount of UV-B

  3. Complete UV-C and complete UV-B

  4. All types


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Most of the sun's UV-B radiation is absorbed by ozone in the stratosphere. UV-C radiation is absorbed by oxygen and ozone in the stratosphere and never reaches the Earth's surface. This is good because the C type rays are the most damaging of all. So the correct answer is 'Complete UV-C and a large amount of UV-B '

Ozone protects biosphere from high energy _____________.

  1. Infra-red rays

  2. Ultraviolet rays

  3. X-rays

  4. Gamma rays

  5. Cosmic rays


Correct Option: B
