Where is the ozone layer located, and what is it made of?1 / 8

The ozone layer sits in the stratosphere, roughly 15 to 35 kilometers above Earth's surface. It's a region where ozone molecules (O₃) are unusually concentrated compared to the rest of the atmosphere, though even there ozone is a fairly trace gas.

Define Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and its three commonly cited pillars.1 / 8

IWRM (per the Global Water Partnership) is a process promoting coordinated development and management of water, land, and related resources to maximize resulting economic and social welfare equitably, without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems. Its three pillars are economic efficiency (using water productively), social equity (fair access across users, including marginalized groups), and environmental sustainability (protecting ecosystem water needs).
