Ultraviolet waves
How does the ozone layer help prevent increased global temperatures caused by the greenhouse effect?
The ozone layer blocks the most dangerous ultra violet radiation. This prevents some heat reaching the earth. So a strong ozone layer helps reduce the greenhouse warming effect.
What the most ultraviolet radiation is blocked from reaching earths surface by what substance found in the atmosphere?

What tells you how much UV radiation is reaching earth?

Why is radiation reaching the earth a problem?
If all the radiation from space reached Earth we would all die in a matter of minuets
What happens if the Earth did not have a magnetic field?
More radiation reaching the Earth's surface.
What would it take to shield myself from gamma radiation?
