Most of earths incoming ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by what?
Most of Earth's incoming ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer in the stratosphere. The ozone layer acts as a shield, protecting living organisms from the harmful effects of UV radiation, such as skin cancer and cataracts.
Which layer of the atmosphere averages 8 miles above the earths surface?
The stratosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that averages about 8 miles above the Earth's surface. This layer contains the ozone layer, which helps to absorb and block harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
Which layer of the atmosphere contains earths ozone layer?
The stratosphere layer of the atmosphere contains the ozone layer. This ozone layer protects us from the harmful UV radiations of the sun.
Where is the majority of ozone found in the earths atmosphere?
The Ozone Layer.
The second layer of the earths atmosphere?
The second layer of Earth's atmosphere is the stratosphere. It is located above the troposphere and extends from about 10 to 50 kilometers above the Earth's surface. The stratosphere contains the ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters the majority of the sun's ultraviolet radiation, making it crucial for protecting life on Earth.
What is most of earths ultraviolet radiation absorbed by?
The atmosphere and especially the ozone layer
Which layer of the atmosphere do Aurora form?
Auroras form in the thermosphere layer of Earth's atmosphere. This is the layer where the gases are ionized by interactions with solar radiation, allowing for the beautiful light displays of auroras to occur.
What layer of the earths atmosphere includes a region of ozone which absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
There is a region in atmosphere containing ozone. It is called ozone layer.
Which layer of earths atmosphere contains the ozone that protects living things from too much ultra violet radiation?
The ozone layer
In what layer of the atmosphere do you find ionized gas particles?
The "ionosphere".
What is the earths sunblock?
The ozone layer acts as a sort of 'sunblock' for the earth, limiting the amount of UV radiation that enters the atmosphere.
What is the earths second layer of earths atmosphere?
STRATOSPHERE
What is the middle layer of earths atmosphere?
OZONE Layer
What layer of the atmosphere can reflect radio waves back to earth?
you can't find it in earth's crust The first of the ionized layers in the earths atmosphere were discovered in the 1920s (?) by scientist Heavyside, to reflect radio waves. The E layer is about 100 km high but this varies with day/night. The F layer is above this again, (about 250 km from memory). There is also a D layer, lower than the E, but seldom does one use this for reflecting radio waves. E and F layers are important for long-distance radio communication. The layers of the atmosphere are ionized by incoming radiation from the sun; hence the variation in height. The height depends upon the atmospheric composition, and the penetrating ability of the incoming radiation.
Does uvc pass through the earths atmosphere?
No, UVC radiation is mostly absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, particularly by the ozone layer. This absorption helps to protect living organisms on Earth from the harmful effects of UVC radiation.
Who was the English physicist who predicted an ionized layer in the earth's atmosphere?
Oliver heaviside
Most of earths incoming ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by what?
Most of Earth's incoming ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer in the stratosphere. The ozone layer acts as a shield, protecting living organisms from the harmful effects of UV radiation, such as skin cancer and cataracts.
