Most forms of electromagnetic energy penetrate the Earth's atmosphere quite easily. There's a band in the ultraviolet range (UV), which is light with a shorter wavelength than visible light, which is somewhat attenuated by the ozone layer high in the atmosphere.
Ozone, or O3, forms in the presence of oxygen in sunlight. Here on the surface of the Earth, we call ozone "smog", and it is the bitter "electrical" taste in the air. Some varieties of chloro-fluorocarbon chemicals (such as "freon", the most common cooling agent used in refrigerators and air conditioners) will react with ozone high in the atmosphere and break it down into normal oxygen molecules.
But the UV light interacts with oxygen to form more ozone, so it's a balance.
What else can I help you with?
Which layer of the Earth is heat escaping at Earth's surface?
lithosphere
Coolest layer of the Earth?
The crust is by far the coolest.
What layer of the atmosphere is satellites located?
If they are in the atmosphere (low earth orbit), satellites are in the ionosphere. If they are in higher orbits, satellites are considered to be outside the atmosphere.
What layer of the earth is composed of igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rock?
The crust.
What layer of the earth is so dense that it makes up 32 percent of the earth's mass yet only 16 percent of the earth's volume?
The core!
Ozone layer and how its getting depleted?
Ozone layer is a layer of earth. It is being depleted. The reason is CFC.
What would happen to life of earth if the amount of ozone in the ozone layer is depleted?
If the ozone in the ozone layer is depleted then, more UV will enter the earth. This will cause damage to life on earth.
What would happen to the life of earth if the amount of ozone in the ozone layer depleted?
If the ozone in the ozone layer is depleted then, more UV will enter the earth. This will cause damage to life on earth.
What harmful effects can occur if the ozone layer is depleted?
If the ozone is depleted, UV rays will enter the earth. They are fatal for life on earth.
Will chloroflurocarbon penatrate the ozone layer?
Yes they can. They can easily penetrate the ozone.
Where above the earth is the ozone layer depleted?
It is depleted over Antarctica. It is because low temperatures over the poles.
What is the significance of a depleted ozone layer?
There is no significance. It is fatal for life on earth.
What layer depleted in the 80s?
Ozone layer depleted. It is because of use of CFC's.
What will hapeen if ozone layer gets depleted?
if we don't take care of it our earth will be very warm
How ozone layer being depleted by chloroflurocarbon?
Ozone layer is being depleted by CFC's. They react with ozone and decompose it.
What new UV rays are coming through ozone layer?
As the ozone layer is depleted, a ozone hole is formed. It causes the UV rays to enter the earth.
How does molecule size change of ozone layer affect the earth?
Molecule size changes of the ozone. When it is being depleted the most.
