The Ozone Layer: Protecting Ourselves from the Sun's Fury The ozone layer, a fragile shield in the Earth's stratosphere, protects us from the harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted by the sun. This radiation can cause sunburn, skin cancer, cataracts, and damage ecosystems. Understanding the threats to the ozone layer and international efforts to mitigate them is crucial for safeguarding our planet.
Our planet Earth is a dynamic system, constantly facing natural and human-induced challenges. Disaster management, weather forecasting, and resource mapping are crucial aspects of ensuring a sustainable future. Thankfully, advancements in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing technologies provide powerful tools to tackle these challenges.
