Formation of Ozone Layer
"Earth without the ozone layer is like a house without a roof"
-2022 Word Ozone Day
How Ozone layer is formed by the Great Oxidation Event?
Ozone also began to form through photochemical dissociation in which O2 molecules absorb UV radiation, causing them to split into two single oxygen molecules (O). The single oxygen and O2 molecules can then react with each other to form ozone (O3)
Essential to life existence
The thin layer of ozone that surrounds Earth acts as a shield, protecting the planet from radiation of UV light and overheating.

Established a possible suitable stage for more advanced and complex multiple organisms to evolve and habitatize in Earth.
