This has been answereed in another category. Ozone is made when oxygen is broken apart by UV-C from our Sun. UV-C only penetrates so far into our atmosphere, breaking apart oxygen and nitrogen. Once this light is extinguished / absorbed, no oxygen can be broken below this depth, so ozone is mostly made above this level.

∙ 14y agoShort answer: Ozone is a greenhouse gas.
The ozone layer is formed where the amount of oxygen and nitrogen is sufficient to absorb all of the UV-C and more energetic radiation from the Sun. Absorbing this energy, increases the temperature at that altitude. Some small amount of that energy is stored in making ozone. Additionally, oxygen and nitrogen have almost no pathway to radiate away heat, so they will stay hot until they can transfer energy to a three-or-more atom molecule (such as ozone) which can radiate in the infrared.
When there is no sunlight containing UV-C, the ozone decays (either naturally or with help), and the atmosphere is then (more) transparent to infrared. Other greenhouse gases (water vapor, CO2, methane) will contribute to moderating temperature, but their concentrations are usually very low in the winder and early spring also. So bang-bang, we lose the coupling between the (relatively) hot stratosphere and Earth *and* we lose the gases that moderate between them.

Earth's temperature is building up besause too much of exces greenhouse gases are released into atmosphere.
Gases like CO2 are building up in the atmosphere and are destroying ozone layer.
in places where there is no ozone layer or it is very thin more dangerous radiation is coming into the Earth's atmosphere, but gases like CO2 are preventing that same radiation from bouncing back into the Space.
It is a domino effect that has the only one result, melting of the ice caps, ocean water desalinization, and speeding up the coming of the next ice age.

However small concentrations of ozone are also found in the tropospheric region but the concentrations are too small to be measured.

What layer does the temperature increase because of ozone absorption of UV?
The layer that increases temperature is stratosphere. The ozone lies within.
How does ozone layer affect the environment?
Ozone layer affect the environment. As they say, it affects the biosphere.
How has the production of CFCs affect Canadas ozone layer?
CFC's affect ozone where ever they arise. They are environment harming chemical that affect ozone.
How does a hole in the ozone layer affect people?
Yes, a hole in ozone layer affect people. It causes people to be in risk for various problems.
Around the world which areas are affected by the ozone layer?
Antarctica is affected by ozone layer. It is because of the cool temperature.
What factors in the atmosphere affect the ozone layer?
There are various factors that affect the ozone layer. These are temperature, pressure etc.
What type of layer does the ozone layer affect?
The ozone layer does not affect anything. It is a protective layer.
Is the ozone layer's temperature the same as the stratosphere?
The temperature of ozone layer is same as stratosphere. It is because ozone layer is in stratosphere.
What chemicals affect the ozone layer?
CFC's affect the ozone layer. They react with it to deplete.
How do you chlorofluorocarbons affect the ozone layer?
CFC's affect the ozone layer in many ways. These CFC's are prone to ozone destruction.
Which ozone layer does global warming affect most?
The ozone layer is a single layer. So there is no point of WHICH ozone layer.
How do airrosoles affect the ozone layer?
Ozone layer affect the aersols. Actually it is the other way around.
How does your actions affect the ozone layer?
Our actions affect ozone. It is because we release CFC's which affect ozone.
What is the ozone layer damaged by?
The ozone layer is damaged by the CFC's and the halogens. There halogens affect the ozone by reacting with it.
How do chlorofluorocarbos affect the ozone layer?
CFC's react with ozone to deplete it. This reduces the density of ozone layer.
What layer does the temperature increase because of ozone absorption of UV?
The layer that increases temperature is stratosphere. The ozone lies within.
Where the ozone layer takes place?
The ozone layer is present in the stratosphere. It is because of the perfect UV radiation and temperature to form ozone.
