What is Ozone?

• It is a gas composed of two molecules of oxygen

• It is a gas composed of three molecules of oxygen

• It is a gas composed of two oxygen and one hydrogen molecules

Why is Ozone important for living beings?

• Because it forms a layer that protects the Earth from the UV rays

• Because it forms a layer that keeps the Earth warm

• Because is important for the decomposition process

How is Carbon Dioxide released and returned to the atmosphere?

• by the process of photosynthesis

• by the process of weathering

• by burning fossil fuels
