What else can I help you with?
What absorbs ultraviolet light and protects us from its harmful effects?
The ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet light and protects us from its harmful effects.
What absorbs ultraviolet radiation and helps protect the Earth from its harmful effects?
The ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation and helps protect the Earth from its harmful effects.
Does the biosphere protect earth from harmful radiations?
Yes, the biosphere helps protect Earth from harmful radiations by absorbing and filtering out some of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun. For example, the ozone layer in the atmosphere, which is part of the biosphere, absorbs much of the Sun's harmful UV radiation, preventing it from reaching the Earth's surface in excessive amounts.
Ozone molecules protect Earth from the harmful effects of the sun by?
absorbing ultraviolet radiation
WHAT part of the atmosphere that filters out most harmful ultraviolet radiation is the?
The ozone layer is the part of the atmosphere that filters out most harmful ultraviolet radiation. It is located in the stratosphere and helps protect life on Earth from the harmful effects of UV rays.
What layer of th earth protects us from the sun and what does it do to protect us from the sun?
The Ozone layer (high up in the atmosphere), this layer is both created by the action of ultraviolet light (from the Sun) on the oxygen molecules in the atmosphere and shields the biosphere from that same ultraviolet radiation.
What do you called it protects the earth from harmful ultraviolet RADIATION?
The protective layer in the Earth's atmosphere that shields us from harmful ultraviolet radiation is called the ozone layer. It is located in the stratosphere and absorbs most of the sun's ultraviolet radiation, protecting life on Earth from its harmful effects.
What is one way that gases in earth's atmosphere protect the biosphere?
Gases in the Earth's atmosphere, such as ozone, absorb and scatter harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. This protects living organisms on Earth's surface from the damaging effects of excessive UV radiation, which can cause skin cancer and harm ecosystems.
Effects of ozone layer?
The ozone layer helps in blocking out the harmful ultraviolet radiations from the sun. These are high frequency, fatal rays.
Which component of the biosphere contains oxygen that you breathe as well as oxygen that protects us from radiation?
The atmosphere in the biosphere contains the oxygen that we breathe. The ozone layer, also part of the atmosphere, is responsible for protecting us from harmful radiation from the sun by absorbing most of the sun's ultraviolet radiation.
What are the positive and negative effects of deple tion of ozone layer?
There are no positives of ozone depletion. The negative effects include the entering of the harmful ultraviolet radiations of the sun on the surface of earth.
Which layer of the atmosphere absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation?
The ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
