Why is the ozone layer important for Earth's life forms? The ozone layer is important for Earth's life forms because it protects Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. This made the environment able to support more complex life forms. 2.) Describe the role of cyanobacteria in changing Earth's early atmosphere. Cyanobacteria helped in changing Earth's atmosphere by adding an abundance of oxygen to it. To this day cyanobacteria's account for 20% to 30% of photosynthesis today.
Explain the role of the ozone layer in sustaining life on Earth. The ozone layer helps regulate the Earth's temperature by absorbing a large percentage of the UV radiation entering the atmosphere. This protects living organisms from exposure to large amounts of UV radiation, maintains livable climates, and regulates the amount of harmful ground-level ozone. Compare the health and environmental risks associated with ground-level ozone to the health and environmental risks associated with ozone layer depletion.
