Answer. As majority of the ultraviolet radiations coming from the sun have been absorbed in the upper stratosphere Therefore, the mid stratosphere has less UV light passing through it. Here O and O2 recombine to form ozone which is an exothermic reaction. Ozone formation in this region results in formation of ozone layer. Thus, ozone layer exists in mid stratosphere as shown in figure.
