What is the major function of the ozone layer in the stratosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Absorbing harmful ultraviolet rays
The governing concept is atmospheric protection by ozone. Ozone molecules absorb a substantial part of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet, especially UV-B and UV-C radiation, before it reaches Earth’s surface. This reduces biological damage to humans, animals and plants, so option A is correct. Cyclones form through weather and pressure processes, river valleys result from erosion, and ocean currents are driven by winds, density and Earth’s rotation.
