Why is even the small amount of ozone considered a major element of atmospheric protection?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it absorbs a large part of ultraviolet radiation
Ozone is present mainly in the stratosphere in a relatively small concentration, but its protective effect is disproportionate to its amount. Ozone molecules absorb much of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation before it reaches Earth’s surface. This reduces biological damage to humans, animals and plants. Therefore option A is correct; cloud formation, river origin and sea-salt evaporation are not ozone’s protective function.
