Why might you call the ozone layer a space shield?

Since ultraviolet radiation from the sun does have to travel through outer space in order to reach the Earth, you could say that it comes from space, and therefore the ozone layer which protects against solar ultraviolet radiation is a kind of space shield.


What do you call damage to the ozone layer?

damage to ozone layer is called ozone depletion. It is thinning of ozone layer.

What layer of the earth has the ozone?

All layers of the atmosphere contain some ozone. The Ozone Layer is contained in the bottom of the stratosphere (this area is also called the tropopause). Concentration here is roughly 10 ppm (normal) to 3 ppm ("hole"). Ozone is also contained in the troposphere (0.08 ppm or less usually), and here we call it smog.


What is around the earth?

a ozone layer call the atmosphere is around the earth. it protects us from the harmful uv rays from the sun.however the is a hole in the ozone layer over the artartic ocean.the hole is becoming bigger and bigger.hence we are lesser protected by the atmosphere.


What is the purpose of the ozone layer in the stratosphere?

the ozone layer is actually in the stratosphere. when that layer gets depleted, the UV rays penetrate into the troposphere and eventually form ozone there. the ozone formed there is the tropospheric ozone. this ozone however has a short photochemical life in the troposphere and thus disintegrates too fast to consolidate its structure.


What do you called it protects the earth from harmful ultraviolet RADIATION?

The protective layer in the Earth's atmosphere that shields us from harmful ultraviolet radiation is called the ozone layer. It is located in the stratosphere and absorbs most of the sun's ultraviolet radiation, protecting life on Earth from its harmful effects.
