Ozone is easy to find in the spectrum, oxygen is not. I'm doing research trying to define Life Zones starting by and assesment of the extremophiles. So far, they seem to be in a limited PT-space of a water phase diagram. Hi Abel, Since proteins are strongly affected by pH, it would be interesting to include it in your phase space. Hi Abel, No, the ozone level quickly rises to a substantial value and then stays nearly constant while the oxygen level increases from very low levels to levels hundreds of times larger.
Ozone is very unstable and reacts to form the more stable molecules of oxygen.
Generally ozone is formed when UV light strikes oxygen molecules. Hence the amount of ozone is often directly related to the intensity of the UV light rather than the number of oxygen molecules.
