What layer of the atmosphere protects living things from too much radiation from the Sun?
The "ozone layer" in the stratosphere contains triple molecules of oxygen (O3, ozone) that absorb the energy of UV rays from the Sun, limiting the amount of UV that reaches the surface. The ozone layer occurs between 20 and 30 kilometers above the Earth (60,000 to 100,000 feet).
What else can I help you with?
What part of the earth is the biosphere?
by interacting with the minerals of the geosphere and the water of hydrosphere and the weather of atmosphere
What type of cycling involves movement of chemical elements through through the earth living things and the atmosphere?
biogeochemical
What makes the Earth different from other planets?
It has human life, all three forms of water (ice,liquid, snow), it has an atmosphere that protects us from the worst of the sun, and it is the perfect distance away from the sun to maintain life (habital zone).
How does earth atmosphere make conditions on earth on suitable for living things?
REASON ONE: ATMOSPHERE Earth has a breathable atmosphere. Oxygen is the gas that is required for the life of most creatures. This is present in Earth's atmosphere, along with nitrogen, and in water, along with hydrogen. Oxygen is constantly put into the atmosphere by plants and trees. Fortunately, Earth's atmosphere does not contain much carbon dioxide, a poisonous gas which makes up most of the atmosphere of planets like Venus and Mars. In densely-populated areas, carbon dioxide is more present. This is because cars and factories produce it. This causes the air to be polluted. The Earth's atmosphere is kept on the planet by its pull of gravity. Mars and Mercury are too small to keep atmosphere. As a result, Mercury has no atmosphere, and Mars' atmosphere is very thin, containing gases which have not managed to escape into space yet. Earth's atmosphere is thick enough to prevent poisonous rays of radiation from getting through it (this is what has happened on Mars).
What are earths 5 spheres in order?
Hydrosphere- All of the water on Earth and everything in it Atmosphere- All the air on Earth and everything in it Biosphere- All living things on Earth Geosphere- All of Earth (land, landforms, rocks) Cryosphere- All ice on Earth Exosphere- Everything outside of Earth (space)
Which layer of earths atmosphere contains the ozone that protects living things from too much ultra violet radiation?
The ozone layer
What protects living things from too musch ultraviolet radiation?
Ozone protects living things from UV rays. It is present as ozone layer.
What layer of the atmosphere contains a substance that was created from a living thing and protects living things?
ozone
What layer of the earth do living things possible to exit?
Living things are there because of atmosphere. It protects us from radiations of sun.
What type of oxygen forms a layer in the atmosphere and protects all living thing on the earth?
Ozone is the type of oxygen that forms a layer in the Earth's atmosphere known as the ozone layer. This layer protects living things on Earth by absorbing the majority of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation, which can cause damage to living tissue.
What protects living things from too much ultra violent radiation?
The Ozone Layer present in the stratosphere layer of the atmosphere acts as a protective blanket over earth to protect living things from the harmful and highly energetic ultraviolet radiations.
What gas in the atmosphere protects living things from ultraviolet light?
Ozone is the gas in the atmosphere that protects living things from ultraviolet light. It absorbs and filters out the harmful UV rays, preventing them from reaching the Earth's surface in large amounts.
What protects living things from to much ultravilolet radiation?
Ozone layer protects against UV rays. These are fatal rays for the life on earth.
What layer is located in the stratosphere and protects living things from getting harmful radiation?
the oz-zone layer :)
Why is the ozone layer important to all living things?
Ozone layer reflect UV radiation. UV radiation is very harmful
What are some ways the atmosphere protects living things?
Maintains even temperatures, keeps out UV Rays, holds in air.
What two things can happen to the energy that enters the atmosphere?
more radiation ; bad living conditions for the people of earth
