What important function does the ozone layer serve?
The ozone iis present as the ozone layer in the stratospheric region of atmopshere. It protects us from the harmful UV radiations of the sun.
What effect do earthworms have on the ozone layer?
Since they serve to enrich soil for plants to grow in, they help plants release oxygen, from which ozone is made.
What important factor does the ozone layer serve in earth's atmosphere?
it protects UV rays coming through which reduces high temperatures throughout the earth
What purpose does ozone layer serve?
The purpose of ozone layer is to protect us from the harmful UV radiations from the sun. These are very harmful radiations and cause problems like skin cancer, eye cataract, modification in DNA etc.
How does ozone serve as a pollutant?
The ozone at the ground level acts as a polluntant. It is called as ground ozone/
Why is earth warmer on the surface then it is 30000 feet up or in space does it have anything to do with the ozone layer kicking the heat back down?
The atmosphere is different temperatures at different altitudes. The exosphere is basically the temperaure of the surface of the Sun, and the stratosphere is about the same temperature as the surface of the Earth. Ozone (and the ozone layer) is formed where the atmosphere absorbs enough energetic sunlight to get hotter. The greenhouse gases in the atmosphere serve to keep our average temperature a bit warmer than, say, the Moon. Ozone in the ozone layer is a player in doing this, since ozone is a greenhouse gas. But ozone is a very small player. Water vapor is a HUGE factor in "kicking the heat back down".
What is the effect on the ozone layer?
If the plastic contains chlorine or bromine, it can serve to add compounds to the air that directly destroy ozone. Otherwise, is decreases free oxygen, which will very slightly affect the amount of oxygen to make ozone from. Add to this effect, that more fossil fuels will be consumed to replace that plastic in the chain of containers / furniture / building materials / cosmetics that it could otherwise be used for.
Does gamma rays reach to the earth?
. The oxygen and nitrogen from the exosphere down to the "ozone layer" (lower stratosphere) serve to stop gamma radiation coming from outside into our atmosphere.
Are infrared rays absorbed by the ozone layer and do they protect earth?
The ozone layer performs a unique role in absorbing UV-B from our Sun, a role no other common gas performs. Additionally, ozone absorbs uniquely a band of far infrared radiation, that otherwise has absolutely no harmful effects on life on Earth. Infrared presents no risk to life, but can serve to keep Earth warm. yes or no?
How does ozone serve as pollutant?
Ozone at the ground level acts as a pollutant. It also accounts for the greenhouse effect.
What purpose does ozone serve in your atmosphere?
Ozone protects us from the UV rays. These are fatal rays of the sun.
How does enzyme garbage heal the ozone layer because i know that ozone molecules are hazardous to the human body How about the disposal of used enzyme will it become another environmental problem?
Treating garbage to "close the loop" on materials that have entered our consumption system "from the soil", makes soil that can grow new resources. It has little direct effect on ozone. Ozone is hazardous in the lower atmosphere, damaging the breathing structures of Man, animals, and plants. In the upper atmosphere, it protects us from UV-B which can kill all surface life. Enzymes are themselves food, eventually. So they will not serve to offer hazard to the ozone layer.
