Ozone layer depletion causes UV to enter. We must protect ourselves from its harmful actions.
How does ozone absorb UV radiation in the Earth's atmosphere?
Ozone in the Earth's atmosphere absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation by breaking apart into oxygen molecules when it absorbs UV light. This process helps to protect the Earth's surface from harmful UV radiation.
Does the ozone layer protect us from UV radiation?
ummm...........cows!
How does the stratosphere protect us from UV B radiation?
