Areas under the hole in the ozone layer would see higher then normal UV-B radiation in that area during the period of time that the thinning area existed.
There will be an increase in cataracts, cancer, and mutation in all organisms with eyes, DNA, and DNA respectively. There will be a decrease in crop yields, and a loss of arable land.
A:Well, the ozone layer is already getting thinner, but here are the main effects: -by 2075, heaps more people will get skin cancer, because of the strong UV rays -the ice in Antarctica will melt -living things will find it more difficult to live, since they are not accustomed to the hot weatherand the list goes on.
A:The Earth exposed to the dangerous radiation from the sun.Ozone is quite similar to oxygen - in fact that's all it is made up of. Regular oxygen we breathe contains two oxygen atoms, while ozone contains three (so O2 and O3). You will be surprised though, that ozone is highly poisonous to us. And this is a problem, at tropospheric (ground) levels. So we should reduce ozone, right? Not quite. There are two places ozone is created. First, as I said, it is found on ground level. But it is created through a reaction between two pollutants (volatile organic compounds, and nitrogen oxides). So if you wanted to reduce ground level ozone, we simply have to pollute the air less.
And, coincidentally, this has another positive affect, on ozone in the stratosphere. This ozone is okay - in fact it is great, and vital to us. It is formed by the interaction of solar ultraviolet (UV's) with regular oxygen. What it does is reduce the amount of UV's reaching the surface. These are harmful rays - yes, they are what cause sunburn, but they can also cause cancer. Also they quite easily kill algae. Is that a big deal? It also affects the others in the food chain - so the fish that eat them, and on. So more ozone, less harmful rays, less cancer and more creatures. You can't go wrong with ozone in the stratosphere - we need it. Some big destructors of the ozone layer are chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). So we have to stop polluting the atmosphere and ruining the ozone! Unfortunately, ozone levels have decreased 4% every decade.
If the ozone layer gets thinner, the UV radiations will enter the surface of earth. These are high frequency radiations which could cause various fatal problems for life on earth.
Earth is not becoming thinner. The ozone layer is.
A thinner ozone layer might lead to more UV entrance. These UV's might cause cataract like problems in humans.
A thinner ozone layer might allow the harmful UV radiations from the sun. These UV rays can cause various fatal problems to life on earth.
The ozone layer happens by UV rays.They decompose and replenish it.
The hole in the ozone layer is called 'the hole in the ozone layer'! It is also known as 'the ozone hole'. Its not really a hole. But it is an area of the ozone layer that is significantly thinner than normal. See Related links below.
the ozone layer is shrinking because the big hole in it is getting larger so the ozone layer has to be getting smaller so yes
Ozone is the earth's thinner layer. It only contains ozone.
Earth is not becoming thinner. The ozone layer is.
With the thinning of the ozone layer, UV will enter the earth. Falling on living organisms, it can cause various problems.
Ozone depletion makes it thinner. It is because of CFC's.
When the ozone layer gets thinner, its power becomes low. It causes the UV to penetrate it.
Thinner ozone layer allows the Uv rays to pass though. These are high energy fatal rays.
When the ozone layer becomes thinner then the harmful UV rays will enter the surface of the earth. These radiations are fatal for life on earth.
A thinner ozone layer might lead to more UV entrance. These UV's might cause cataract like problems in humans.
See "What would happen if the ozone layer vanished?"
yes the ozone layer is thinner at the poles then the equator
A thinner ozone layer might allow the harmful UV radiations from the sun. These UV rays can cause various fatal problems to life on earth.
