A. microwaves
B. infrared
C. X-rays
D. ultraviolet
Check Answer
The correct answer is D) ultraviolet.
The ozone layer is a layer of gas in the Earth’s atmosphere that contains high concentrations of ozone (O3). This layer helps protect the Earth from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun. UV radiation can cause skin cancer, cataracts, and other health problems in humans, as well as damage crops and ecosystems. The ozone layer absorbs most of the Sun’s harmful UV radiation before it reaches the Earth’s surface, acting as a protective shield. However, human activities such as the release of certain chemicals into the atmosphere have led to a depletion of the ozone layer, which has raised concerns about increased exposure to harmful UV radiation.
