Meaning of ozone layer depletion

Answer 1

The stratospheric ozone layer is the layer that protects the earth from UV radiation which is harmful to all life forms. Over the years pollution and other things have cause destruction to the ozone layer and began to break it down and deplete it's ability to protect the planet. Eventually, if this continues, the ozone layer will disappear and UV rays will destroy the earth.

Answer 2

Ozone layer depletion refers to the reduction in the amount of ozone in the stratosphere, particularly the ozone found in the ozone layer. This depletion is primarily caused by the release of certain human-made chemicals containing chlorine and bromine compounds, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which break down ozone molecules. The thinning of the ozone layer leads to increased levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching the Earth's surface, posing risks to human health and the environment.

Answer 3

Ozone depletion means that there is less ozone than there was. We worry about ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere. At the surface, the less the better; it's poisonous.
