    Formation

    An estimated time from one billion years ago aquatic organisms known as blue-green algae were performing photosynthesis and some of the oxygen was absorbed by the Sun's ultraviolent rays.
  • Structure
    100

    Structure

    The structure of the ozone layer is in three different layers that are sub divided to each other. The layers are troposhere, stratosphere, and ionosphere.
  • Function
    100

    Function

    The function of the ozone layer is to absorbed the atoms from the oxygen that makes a thin line above the earth to protect it from irradiation by UV light.

    They are completely unreactive and do not affect human health in any way. This gives them extremely long atmospheric lifetimes and allows then to accumulate in the atmosphere.
