What happen when the ozone layer become thinner?

Answer 1

Areas under the hole in the ozone layer would see higher then normal UV-B radiation in that area during the period of time that the thinning area existed.

There will be an increase in cataracts, cancer, and mutation in all organisms with eyes, DNA, and DNA respectively. There will be a decrease in crop yields, and a loss of arable land.

A:Well, the ozone layer is already getting thinner, but here are the main effects: -by 2075, heaps more people will get skin cancer, because of the strong UV rays -the ice in Antarctica will melt -living things will find it more difficult to live, since they are not accustomed to the hot weather

and the list goes on.

A:The Earth exposed to the dangerous radiation from the sun.

Ozone is quite similar to oxygen - in fact that's all it is made up of. Regular oxygen we breathe contains two oxygen atoms, while ozone contains three (so O2 and O3). You will be surprised though, that ozone is highly poisonous to us. And this is a problem, at tropospheric (ground) levels. So we should reduce ozone, right? Not quite. There are two places ozone is created. First, as I said, it is found on ground level. But it is created through a reaction between two pollutants (volatile organic compounds, and nitrogen oxides). So if you wanted to reduce ground level ozone, we simply have to pollute the air less.

And, coincidentally, this has another positive affect, on ozone in the stratosphere. This ozone is okay - in fact it is great, and vital to us. It is formed by the interaction of solar ultraviolet (UV's) with regular oxygen. What it does is reduce the amount of UV's reaching the surface. These are harmful rays - yes, they are what cause sunburn, but they can also cause cancer. Also they quite easily kill algae. Is that a big deal? It also affects the others in the food chain - so the fish that eat them, and on. So more ozone, less harmful rays, less cancer and more creatures. You can't go wrong with ozone in the stratosphere - we need it. Some big destructors of the ozone layer are chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). So we have to stop polluting the atmosphere and ruining the ozone! Unfortunately, ozone levels have decreased 4% every decade.

Answer 2

When the ozone layer becomes thinner, more harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can penetrate the Earth's atmosphere. This can lead to increased rates of skin cancer, cataracts, and damage to marine life. It can also have negative effects on plant growth and disrupt ecosystems.

Answer 3

If the ozone layer gets thinner, the UV radiations will enter the surface of earth. These are high frequency radiations which could cause various fatal problems for life on earth.
