Then most of the UV rays will enter the earth. It will finish all life on earth.

What is the uv radiation that absorbs oxygen compound?
If your question was 'What is the oxygen compound that absorbs UV radiation?' - then ozone
How is ozone prepared?
Ozone is a gas found in the atmosphere consisting of three oxygen atoms: O3.Ozone is formed in the atmosphere when energetic ultraviolet (UV) radiation dissociates molecules of oxygen, O2 , into separate oxygen atoms.Free oxygen atoms can recombine to form oxygen molecules but if a free oxygen atom collides with an oxygen molecule, it joins up, forming ozone.Ozone molecules can also be decomposed by ultraviolet radiation into a free atom and an oxygen molecule.Ozone is thus continuously created and destroyed in the atmosphere by UV radiation coming from the sun.Refer to link below for more information.
What can happen over millions of years to the carbon compuonds in organisms that die and decompose?
Generally carbon compounds are completely destroyed by chemical degradation, microorganisms, insects etc. In some conditions of pressure, temperature, lack of oxygen organic wastes were transformed in oil, coal, methane.
What happen to the original magnesium after it has been burned?
If completely burnt (in excess of oxygen), all the magnesium will be converted to magnesium oxide.
What will happen if all the chloroplasts in the cells of a plant are destroyed by a type of bacteria?
If chloroplasts in a plant got destroyed the plant will eventually die because the chloroplasts are what makes the chlorophyll in a plant which is needed for photosynthesis and without the plants oxygen we will die.
What will happen to your daily life it forest is destroyed?
The trees make up most of our oxygen if they are gone we will not be able to replenish the oxygen as fast as we produce carbon dioxide so we will die.
How is oxygen destroyed?
Oxygen can be consumed by a chemical reaction, such as fire, in which case the oxygen is not destroyed but becomes part of another substance.

What happen when higher energy ultraviolet radiations act on the oxygen at the higher level of the atmosphere?
when higher energy ultraviolet radiation act on the oxygen at the higher level of the atmosphere, they destroying many molecules of atmosphere.
How Is the ozone destoryed?
Ozone layer is destroyed because of CFC gases which are pollutants are responsible for the depletion of ozone layer. CFC convert ozone to oxygen and make it useless for the absorption of UV radiation.
What will happen if all the chloroplasts in the cells of a plant are destroyed by a type of bacteria?
If chloroplasts in a plant got destroyed the plant will eventually die because the chloroplasts are what makes the chlorophyll in a plant which is needed for photosynthesis and without the plants oxygen we will die.
What percentage of the ozone layer is natural?
Something close to 99.9999%. Ozone is destroyed by the UV it protects us from, and by time and contaminants. And more ozone is made as oxygen and nitrogen do the same with more energetic radiation from the Sun.
Why oxygen doesn't completely change into ozone?
Oxygen is present at ground level. It doesn't completely change into ozone.
Which component of the biosphere contains oxygen that you breathe as well as oxygen that protects us from radiation?
