In the atmosphere there are several layers. One of these layers is called the stratosphere. The air in the stratosphere is bombarded continuously by ultraviolet radiation from the sun. When the ultraviolet rays strike molecules of normal oxygen (O2), they split the molecule into two single oxygen atoms, known as atomic oxygen (O). A freed oxygen atom then can combine with an oxygen molecule to form a molecule of ozone (O3). So basically the ultraviolet radiation (which is also what makes you sunburned during the summer) is what produces the ozone.
What else can I help you with?
How do computers produce ozone?
Computers do not produce ozone. Ozone is typically generated by electrical discharge, such as lightning or specialized equipment like ozone generators. Computing devices themselves do not have the capability to generate ozone as a byproduct of their operation.
Will chlorine atoms react with ozone to produce chlorine monoxide?
Yes, chlorine atoms can react with ozone to produce chlorine monoxide. This reaction can contribute to ozone depletion in the atmosphere.
Which season ozone produce less?
Winters produced less ozone. There is depletion in winters.
How do the humans effects the ozone?
Humans produce CFC's. These CFC's react with ozone to deplete it.
What is the process called that makes the ozone layer?
The ozone is created in atmosphere by ozone cycle. It helps in maintaining the quantity of ozone layer.
Does ozone kill produce?
No, ozone will not kill produce. Ozone is commonly used in food storage applications to prolong the shelf life of produce by killing bacteria and mold that will shorten the shelf life. Also, ozone will break down natural levels of Ethelyne from the fruit and slow the ripening process. However, it is important to maintain a safe level of ozone and this will vary with produce to not negatively affect the produce. Ozone levels should always be below 0.5 ppm, and usually below 0.08 ppm, the OSHA level for human safety.
How industries can protect ozone layer depletion?
Industries can produce ozone friendly products. These products could help in saving ozone.
In which plants is ozone formation expected?
Marigolds produce ozone in their roots to fight predation of their roots. Kudzu appears to produce ozone to clear an area for it to take over. Hopefully someone can comment how we might predict which plants will make ozone (and delete this sentence...).
What is the importance of ozone layer to the plants?
Ozone layer helps to maintain the appropriate temperature. This helps plant grow and survive.
How ozone helps us breathe?
The ozone protects us from UV rays of the sun. It thus helps us to live.
What does ozone produce?
Ozone does not produce anything. Ozone layer blocks around 97% of the total radiation received by the earth. It acts as a blanket and keeps the atmosphere cool. It is responsible for the survival of life on earth.
How is ozone pollution produce?
Ozone depletion is the process where ozone holes are created in the ozone layer. It is caused due to the action of chloro-floro-carbons on the ozone molecule to break it down to oxygen.
