How is the the ozone layer important?
This question has been answered in other categories... It permits there to be life near the surface of the ocean, and on the surface of land.
How has the ozone layer allowed life to life on land?
The ozone layer has allowed life on land. It is because it prevents the harmful UV rays from entering the earth.
Why does earth have an ozone layer?
because if it was not there it would cause to much ultaviolet radation and that would kill usThe ozone layer plays a ital role in supporting life on land. It is because ozone blocks the harmful ultraviolet radiations which can cause fatal diseases on land creatures.
How did the ozone layer move animals to land from water?
The depletion of the ozone layer led to increased levels of ultraviolet radiation reaching Earth's surface, which harmed marine life. This pushed some animals to adapt and move to land where they could escape the harmful effects of UV radiation. Over time, these animals evolved and diversified into different terrestrial species.
What are Harmful and beneficial effects of volcanic eruption?
Beneficial Effects - it often leads to creation of new land Harmful Effects - hot molten lava, pyroplastic smoke. Can kill anything below it with ease.
It is thought that life could not have existed on land until the ozone layer formed about 2 billion years ago. Why does life on land require an ozone layer?
Because the ozone layer provides a thin layer of protection from the harmful UV rays or ultraviolet rays.
In the geological history of the Earth a prerequisite for life to survive on land was the accumulation of?
An ozone layer to block the sun's harmful radiation.
Why is ozone layer disappearance a problem?
The ozone layer is not disappearing. The ozone layer may or may not be thinning.A thinning ozone layer results in increased rates of cancer and mutation, and reduced crop yields and loss of arable land.
The ozone layer helps protect us from?
The stratospheric ozone protects us from the harmful ultraviolet radiations coming from the sun. These radiations if enter the earth's surface can cause various fatal problems to land organisms.
What diseases can the ozone layer give us?
Lack of: - cataracts - skin cancer - mutations - starvation More of: - crop yields - arable land The ozone layer does not cause disease. Losing the ozone layer, bit by bit, does.
Why ozone was important in enabling organisms to live on land?
Ozone is very important to life on Earth because it absorbs 93-99% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.Ozone allowed life to leave the depths of the ocean and move onto land. Nitrogen and oxygen can and do absorb UV-C radiation from our Sun, but only ozone can absorb UV-B (which will break DNA... even through skin).
What would you expect to result from a decrease in the amount of ozone in the ozone layer?
A decrease in the amount of ozone in the ozone layer would lead to an increase in harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching the Earth's surface. This can result in higher rates of skin cancer, cataracts, and other health issues in humans, as well as damage to marine life and ecosystems.
