State the relative humidity of the air at location A. [1] Base your answers to questions 56 and 57 on the passage below and on your knowledge of Earth science. Ozone in Earth s Atmosphere Ozone is a special form of oxygen. Unlike the oxygen we breathe, which is composed of two atoms of oxygen, ozone is composed of three atoms of oxygen. A concentrated ozone layer between 10 and 30 miles above Earth s surface absorbs some of the harmful ultraviolet radiation coming from the Sun. The amount of ultraviolet light reaching Earth s surface is directly related to the angle of incoming solar radiation. The greater the Sun s angle of insolation, the greater the amount of ultraviolet light that reaches Earth s surface. If the ozone layer were completely destroyed, the ultraviolet light reaching Earth s surface would most likely increase human health problems, such as skin cancer and eye damage. 56. State the name of the temperature zone of Earth s atmosphere where the concentrated layer of ozone gas exists. [1] 57. Explain how the concentrated ozone layer above Earth s surface is beneficial to humans. [1]
