Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ozone is found in the stratosphere, specifically in the ozone layer, which is located approximately 10-50 km above the Earth's surface. It acts as a protective shield against harmful UV radiation from the sun. The other options (troposphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere) do not typically contain high concentrations of ozone.
