Solution
Importance/Function of ozone layer:
- Ozone protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the Sun.
- Without the Ozone layer in the atmosphere, life on Earth would be very difficult.
- Plants cannot live and grow in heavy ultraviolet radiation, nor can the planktons that serve as food for most of the ocean life.
- With a weakening of the Ozone Layer shield, humans would be more susceptible to skin cancer, cataracts and impaired immune systems.
