When uvb gets through the stratospheric ozone layer what kinds of problems can be created?
When UVB radiation penetrates the stratospheric ozone layer, it can cause various issues such as sunburn, skin cancer, cataracts, and damage to marine ecosystems. Increased UVB exposure also affects crops, forests, and plankton, disrupting food chains and ecosystems. Additionally, UVB can contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone and smog, which have detrimental effects on human health and the environment.
How many ultraviolet rays are there?
There are three main types of ultraviolet (UV) rays: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVA and UVB are the ones that reach the Earth's surface, while UVC is mostly absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere.
What in earth's atmosphere helps most to absorb UVB ultraviolet light from the sun?
The ozone layer, primarily composed of ozone (O3) molecules, plays a crucial role in absorbing UVB ultraviolet light from the sun. Located in the stratosphere, this layer effectively filters harmful UV radiation, protecting living organisms on Earth from its damaging effects, such as skin cancer and cataracts. The absorption of UVB by ozone is essential for maintaining the health of ecosystems and the overall balance of life on the planet.
What is the difference between UV-A and UV-B?
U.V can be separated according to its energy level and wavelength with UVa having the lowest energy and longest wavelength followed by UVb and ultimately UVc which has the shortest wavelength and highest energy level. You may be familiar with UVa and UVb as the part of the suns rays which cause tanning, aging, and skin cancer. The Sun also emits UVc the most powerful and dangerous type of U.V., fortunately for us most of this is stopped in the upper atmosphere by gasses like ozone.
How do you alternate the Lighting for a bearded dragon?
You don't need to alternate the lighting for a Beardie. You need a reptile basking light and a UVB light and that's it.
Is keeping a bearded dragon easy?
A Beardie is a living animal and thus keeping one should not be taken lightly. It also depends on the age of the Dragon. Beardie's make good starter pets for people who have never owned a reptile, so as long as you have the dedication needed to care for a living animal it should be fine. They do require a uva/uvb light over their tank, which can be expensive to maintain. These lights are tricky to use because they will continue to work until the bulb burns out, but after a couple months will stop giving off the uva/uvb rays the beardie needs. Many a reptile owner has gotten their animal sick because they thought that since the bulb was still lighting up, it was still working properly. This is not the case, so if you purchase a beardie, please do not make that often fatal mistake. They need to be played with regularly as well or they can and will develope an attitude :)
What does the abbreviation UVB stand for?
UVB is a commonly used acronym that stands for ultraviolet B rays. UVB rays are short waves and are believed to be the rays which are responsible for sunburn.
What is the difference of uvb reptile light compared to uvb light for psoriasis?
The UVB light for reptiles is typically designed to provide the specific UVB spectrum that reptiles need to synthesize vitamin D and maintain overall health. UVB light for psoriasis, on the other hand, is used to treat skin conditions like psoriasis by targeting affected areas with controlled UVB exposure to help slow cell turnover and reduce inflammation. The UVB light for psoriasis is usually prescribed and monitored by a healthcare professional to ensure safe and effective treatment.

You need to make sure that you are giving it UVB light. Shell conditioners do nothing but shine the shell. UVB lights help make his shell strong and healthy. If it is an aquatic turtle us a UVB 5.0. Use a UVB 10.0 if it is a Tortoise or land turtle. You can get these lights at almost any pet store.
