Consequences of ozone depletion

Answer 1

The life of our planet depends on this 3 mm layer of a very reactive gos. Without this layer life on our planet would die off. That is why radicals are able to scare people into actions that may or may not help and scientifically questionable issue. We know the hole is not a hole, but a thin area that occurs naturally. What scientists are questioning is whether or not a small portion of the thinning may not be natural but induced by some very reactive gases that man has added into our atmosphere.

An honest answer is that we do not know. What we do know is it is a needed layer and that this thinning has occurred for generations.

Answer 2

Ozone depletion can lead to increased exposure to harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, which can cause skin cancer, cataracts, and suppressed immune function in humans. It can also disrupt ecosystems by harming marine life, disrupting food chains, and damaging plant growth. Additionally, ozone depletion may contribute to climate change by affecting atmospheric circulation patterns.

Answer 3

Decreasing ozone means increases in melanoma (skin cancer), cataracts, famine (loss of arable land, and damage to crops). This would only occur in areas that had this thinning or hole in the ozone.

More detail

Earth's surface receives more UltraViolet-B, as ozone is the only gas currently in our atmosphere that absorbs UltraViolet-B. UltraViolet-B is also absorbed by soil, meters depth of water, and directly by the DNA of all surface life. DNA absorbing UltraViolet-B ends up increasing rates of cancer, mutation, and decreases crop yields. UltraViolet-B also causes cataracts to form in eye structures in animals (including Man).

Answer 4

Depletion of ozone layer causes temperature to increase. Ozone layer blocks about 97% of the the total received by the earth. Ozone depletion will expose earth to harmful radiations and will burn the life. The temperature will increase and make earth inhabitable place.

Answer 5

The ozone depletion is caused by CFC's. They react with ozone to deplete it.

Answer 6

Ozone depletion causes global warming. This is also reversible.

Answer 7

Ozone depletion will cause skin cancer.It will also cause eye cataract.

Answer 8

Ozone depletion causes skin cancer. It also causes eye cataract.

Answer 9

Some of the consequences of ozone depletion are:

• Skin cancer
• Suppression of immune system
• Retina damage.

Answer 10

The consequences of ozone depletion are:

1. Danger to plants

2. Eye cataract in humans.

3. Suppression of immune system in animals.
