(i) The ozone layer acts as a blanket in the atmosphere above 16 km from the earth’s surface. Ozone absorbs the harmful ultra-violet rays coming from the sun and prevents them from reaching the earth’s surface. Thus, it protects the life on earth from harmful effects of ultra-violet rays that can cause skin cancer and destroy many organisms necessary for life in general.
