How does the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer sustain life? a. this process maintain the temperature of the earth. b. it keeps a low level of harmful ultraviolet radiation from reaching living organisms. c. this process keeps ozone concentrations in the troposphere at lower levels. d. all of the above are true.

d. All of the above are true.

Explanation: Ozone is a protective shield present in earth's stratosphere which absorbs the harmful radiations from the sun and thus keeps a low level of harmful ultraviolet radiation from reaching living organisms.

As the sun rays are absorbed by the ozone layer, not all the sun rays reach the earth's surface and thus the temperature of the earth is also maintained.

The ozone present in the troposphere also called as ground level ozone is harmful as it can trigger a variety of health problems and is formed by reactions of pollutants from vehicular emissions in the presence of sunlight. Thus ozone in stratosphere blocks the sunlight and thus prevents the formation of ground level ozone.

Thus all the statements are true.
