What is an important role of the Ozone Layer?

• It protects the mesosphere from the Sun's harmful rays.

• It protects the troposphere from the Sun's harmful rays.

• It prevents floods, hurricanes, and other storms.

• It prevents the thermosphere from becoming too warm.

This gas makes up 21% of the atmosphere

• ozone
• oxygen
• nitrogen
• water vapor
