As the amount of ozone in the stratosphere decreases what happens?
more ultraviolet light is able to reach Earth's surface. (:
What is one reason that ozone near the earth's suface is dangerous?
Since stratospheric ozone is produced by solar UV radiation, one might expect to … Consequently, unabsorbed and dangerous ultraviolet-B radiation is able to reach the Earth's surface .
What is a place where underground water comes to the surface?
water table
The deepest scientist have been able to study earths interior depth in Km?
The deepest scientist have been able to study earths interior depth is 12,262 meters
Can you stand on the dwarf planet Eris?
You would need to be in a suit that was able to withstand a Vacuum and some seriously low tempereatures, but you could stand on its surface. The surface gravity is low, since the overall mass of the planet is quite small, less than 10% of the Earths gravity.

If the atmosphere did not contain an ozone layer?
Then all ultraviolet radiation would reach the surface. This would be very harmful to all forms of life, including humans. Humans and most other life would likely not be able to survive.

Does ultraviolet C reach the atmosphere?
Apparently it does, since we're able to see the sun and get around without flashlights in the daytime.
Is air pressure greater near the earths surface or at higher altitudes?
I am sure that if you think about the problems encountered by climbers on Mount Everest you might be able to answer that yourself. Near the Earth's surface.

Why is it important for geologists to understand how water moves beneath earths surface?
So that they are able to make decisions about how groundwater can be used without damaging this valuable resource
What is theSection of stratosphere 20 miles above the earth's surface called?
This is the ozone layer, which is spread out through parts of the stratosphere. It protects the surface from ultraviolet radiation, though some still passes through. Without it, life would not be able to exist as it does now.
What planet is Venus of?
The surface composition of Venus is believed to be similar to Earths, largely silicon based rock. Its difficult to say exactly what the surface is as space craft cannot survive long enough on its surface to be able to analyse and send back detailed information.
Can ultraviolet sanitizers be used on food to prevent food poisoning?
Ultraviolet sanitizers only help kill off organisms on the surface of the food where they can be exposed to the ultraviolet light. Since many types of organisms that cause food poisoning are mixed into or are on the side of the food away from the light, the ultraviolet light cannot reach them and they remain intact and able to cause their nasty effects. Gamma radiation, which, like ultraviolet light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, can penetrate food and kill even organisms that are deep inside. As a result, irradiation with gamma rays is sometimes used to sanitize/sterilize food. Since ultraviolet light can kill those organisms that it can shine on, it is still useful for providing a more sanitary environment than one without it. It can sanitize surfaces where food is placed so that the food will not pick up germs, parasites, etc. from the surface. It won't totally prevent food poisoning, but it can lower the risk some.
Do you die in quicksand?
Yes you would because the sand would suck you in until you can no longer reach the surface. Therefore you wouldn't be able to breath
