Ozone
Ozone is a gas containing three oxygen atoms in the molecule instead of two. It is a form of oxygen. Ozone is made by interactions between ligthning and oxygen. Ozone is good and bad for life. It helps us majorly by protecting us from the sun. In the Stratosphere there is a layer of ozone that protects the living organisms on Earth from ultraviolet radiation rays from the sun. These rays can cause skin cancers and bad sunburns. Ozone can also have a negitive impact on life. Ozone,if breathed, can cause damage to tissue in the lungs. Ozone is a very vital gas in our atmosphere. Without ozone, many creatures would be killed by the harmful rays from the sun. We defenatly need our ozone.

Greenhouse Gases
The greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring process that aids in heating the Earth's surface and atmosphere. Greenhouse gases help in keeping the planet warm enough for us to live. But, too much of these gases can have a devestating effect. They cause etream climate changes and teperatures. They cause the polar ice caps to melt. Swealing of the oceans causes flooding all over the world. Humans definatly increase the gas amnounts from the carbon dioxides released from cares and other machienery. If changes are not made on the greenhouse effect could have a bad influence on our planet.
