What is the function of the ozone layer?

• to allow UV rays to get to Earth
• to block UV rays from getting to Earth
• To keep oxygen in
• to allow meteors to get to Earth

The layers of the atmosphere are separated according to this change. 

• Altitude 
• Elevation
• Temperature
• Distance from the sun
