How did the ozone layer move animals to land from water?

The depletion of the ozone layer led to increased levels of ultraviolet radiation reaching Earth's surface, which harmed marine life. This pushed some animals to adapt and move to land where they could escape the harmful effects of UV radiation. Over time, these animals evolved and diversified into different terrestrial species.


Depletion of the ozone layer allow more UV-A rays to reach earth's surface causing damage to plants and animals. True or false?

False. Depletion of the ozone layer allows more harmful UV-B rays to reach Earth's surface, which can cause damage to plants and animals. UV-A rays are less harmful than UV-B rays and are not significantly affected by ozone depletion.


What are absorbed by the ozone layer?

The ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, specifically UV-C and most UV-B rays. This absorption helps protect life on Earth by preventing harmful UV radiation from reaching the surface in excess amounts.


What is the difference between a UV stabilizer and a UV absorber?

A UV stabilizer helps extend the lifespan of a material by preventing UV-induced degradation, while a UV absorber absorbs UV radiation and converts it into harmless heat, reducing the material's exposure to UV rays. Stabilizers work over the long term to maintain material integrity, while absorbers provide short-term protection by dissipating UV energy.
