Ozone, O3, is a gas in the upper atmosphere that absorbs UV light. This means less UV light gets to the Earth. UV light causes humans to synthesise Vitamin D, needed for healthy bones and teeth. However, it also causes skin damage- the reason why we tan/burn in sunlight. Less O3 means more intense UV light- known to increase skin cancer and cataract rates in areas where this has happened. With plants, I don't think it has a great effect- they just use pockets of sunlight energy for photosynthesis.
What else can I help you with?
Depletion of the ozone layer allow more UV-A rays to reach earth's surface causing damage to plants and animals. True or false?
False. Depletion of the ozone layer allows more harmful UV-B rays to reach Earth's surface, which can cause damage to plants and animals. UV-A rays are less harmful than UV-B rays and are not significantly affected by ozone depletion.
What is a cause and effect of ozone depletion?
Depletion of ozone is caused by CFC's. It is fatal to life.
How does the carbon cycle affect the ozone layer?
Carbon cycle has an effect on ozone layer. Carbon emissions cause greenhouse effect which causes ozone depletion.
What is the effect the ozone layer in each place?
The effect of ozone layer is same overall. The ozone depletion over one place will affect the UV in that area.
How does cataracts effect the ozone lair?
Cataract is a byproduct of ozone depletion. It is caused due to UV rays.
What are the causes of ozone depletion on humans and animals andplants?
The ozone depletion on humans and plants have a huge impact. UV falls over them and kills them.
How will the ozone hole effect plants?
Ozone depletion makes UV enter the earth. Plants die on coming in contact with UV rays.
How plants can prevent ozone depletion?
Plants avoid global warming. ANd since global warming causes ozone depletion, thus they prevent ozone depletion.
Why is the depletion of ozone layer harmful to plants?
The depletion of ozone is harmful to plants. The UV can cause their death.
Is ozone depletion an effect of pollution?
Yes it is. Ozone depletion is caused by pollution.
Depletion of the ozone layer allow more UV-A rays to reach earth's surface causing damage to plants and animals. True or false?
False. Depletion of the ozone layer allows more harmful UV-B rays to reach Earth's surface, which can cause damage to plants and animals. UV-A rays are less harmful than UV-B rays and are not significantly affected by ozone depletion.
What is a cause and effect of ozone depletion?
Depletion of ozone is caused by CFC's. It is fatal to life.
Does ozone depletion have a good effect on natural resources?
No, never. Ozone depletion could never have a good effect on natural resources.
How is the greenhouse effect the cause of the ozone layer depletion?
The greenhouse effect causes ozone depletion. Greenhouse doesn't let the heat escape, causing problems for ozone.
Do Smoke from crackers have ozone depletion effect?
Yes, it has. Smoke from crackers have an effect on ozone.
What has the greatest effect on ozone depletion?
The CFC's have greatest effect. They react with ozone to deplete it.
What are some aspects that ozone depletion and the greenhouse effect have in common?
There are important aspects of ozone depletion and greenhouse effect. They are caused by same sources.
