Ozone molecules that absorb UV-B or more energetic light break apart, usually into an oxygen molecule and an oxygen atom. Sometimes the oxygen atom can recombine to form ozone again... if no competing reactions get to it first. Not sure what you had in mind about "something" absorbing ozone molecules... any chemical that ozone interacts with, gains the extra oxygen atom, leaving the oxygen molecule to go do something else. Even oxidizing elemental sulfur (or H2S), each oxygen atom consumed into the final molecule, breaks down one ozone molecule.

∙ 10y agoOzone 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. It is caused due to inhuman activities.

The molecules then vibrate and rotate in frequencies that expel the captured energy in small IR photons until the entirety of the absorbed energy is expelled and the molecules returns to its initial state.

Which part of the solar radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer?
The ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer. The ozone molecules do not allow only the ultraviolet radiations to pass through.
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is absorbed in the atmosphere?
Most visible light is bounced back into space, while some of it is absorbed into the atmosphere.
What are absorbed by the ozone layer?
Harmful ultraviolet radiations are absorbed by the ozone layer.
What are ways Earth absorb UV rays?
The UV radiations coming from the sun are absorbed by the layer of ozone molecules present in the stratospheric region of atmosphere. This layer is known as ozone layer.
What us uv rays absorbed by?
The UV rays are absorbed by ozone. It is present in the ozone layer.
Which part of the solar radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer?
The ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer. The ozone molecules do not allow only the ultraviolet radiations to pass through.
What does the ozone layer protect us from ultraviolet radiation?
The ozone layer is an elastic layer of ozone molecules. The UV radiations are the one coming from sun and absorbed by the ozone.
Where is over 95 percent of incoming ultraviolet radiation absorbed?
in the atmosphere;in the Ozone Layer(The ozone molecules filter out the harmful UV rays.)
How is the ozone layer being caused?
Ozone is produced when UV-C is absorbed by oxygen molecules. These molecules break apart due to this energy, and some of them recombine into ozone. UV-C is also absorbed by nitrogen, so at some point all the UV-C is gone and no more ozone can be directly formed with just light. Hence the "layer" has a bottom.
What are absorbed by the ozone?
Harmful ultraviolet radiations are absorbed by the ozone layer.
What ultra voilet radiation is absorb by the ozone molecules?
UV-B rays are absorbed. These are most fatal for mankind.
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is absorbed in the atmosphere?
Most visible light is bounced back into space, while some of it is absorbed into the atmosphere.
What are absorbed by the ozone layer?
Harmful ultraviolet radiations are absorbed by the ozone layer.
What are ozone layers confined of?
Ozone layer is confined of ozone molecules. These molecules form a huge pool of ozone molecules.
What are ways Earth absorb UV rays?
The UV radiations coming from the sun are absorbed by the layer of ozone molecules present in the stratospheric region of atmosphere. This layer is known as ozone layer.
Which molecules are affecting ozone layer?
The CFC molecules affect ozone layer. These molecules react with ozone to deplete it.
What us uv rays absorbed by?
The UV rays are absorbed by ozone. It is present in the ozone layer.
