Does Australia has ozone lyer?

Yes, Australia is located in a region where the ozone layer is thinning due to the presence of ozone-depleting substances. This thinning of the ozone layer can lead to increased levels of ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth's surface, resulting in harmful effects on humans and the environment.


What is the ozone layer dilapidation?

Ozone layer dilapidation refers to the depletion of ozone molecules in the Earth's stratosphere, particularly over the poles. This thinning of the ozone layer is primarily caused by the release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other ozone-depleting substances into the atmosphere. It leads to increased exposure to harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, which can have detrimental effects on human health and the environment.


A layer of the ozone in the protects from earths radation?

The ozone layer is crucial as it absorbs most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation, which helps protect living organisms on Earth from the harmful effects of this radiation, such as skin cancer and cataracts. Without the ozone layer, more harmful UV radiation would reach the Earth's surface, leading to increased risks to human health and the environment.
