6 0

The answer would be the ozone layer. A layer of ozone in the upper atmosphere absorbs UV radiation and prevents most of it from reaching the Earth. ... This means that more ultraviolet radiation can pass through the atmosphere to the Earth's surface, particularly at the poles and nearby regions during certain times of the year.

How did photosynthesis lead to the development of animals living on land?

Zolol [24]

Around 2.4 billion years ago, the first photosynthetic organisms appeared and used inorganic matter like carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose, with oxygen released in the atmosphere. Because of this, oxygen levels rose; this is called the Great Oxygenation Event. Through time, photosynthetic organisms evolved to live in land (now as plants). As concentrations of oxygen in the atmosphere became higher, marine animals evolved to utilize oxygen readily available from the atmosphere (rather dissolved in water) hence the evolution of marine animals to land animals capable of respiration in land.
