The correct answer is - ozone.

The ozone is essentially three molecules of oxygen, or O³. This gas is crucial for the life on the Earth because it is the one that manages to filter out big portion of the UV radiation from the Sun which is extremely harmful if its too strong, as it will contribute to the dying out of pretty much every living organism.

While the ozone layer in the stratosphere is very useful, the ozone in the lower parts of the troposphere is actually considered as pollutant. The reason why it is considered as pollutant is because it is very harmful if inhaled, and it also heavily damages the plants.

How to plot latitudes and longitudes on maps?
Alex17521 [72]

Lattitude is going side to side and longitude is up and down so on a map you would put your finger on the longitude number and your other finger on the lattitude number and follow the lines connected to the number until the lines touch each other, where the lines touch each other is where you should plot your point.
