Ozone Layer

Ozone layer was not made by humans but naturally. It was made for the purpose of protecting life on earth.

The "ozone layer" is roughly the same condition it has always been in. The amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere varies mainly due to variations in solar activity. UV radiation has serious affects on this layer. Holes form over the poles at the end of each winter due to a lack of sunlight. When the sun returns, the "holes" quickly disappear.

A Ultraviolet Germicidal Air purifier or a UV air purifier for short uses air cleaners using ultraviolet germicidal UV and ionic swine flu purifiers. What makes them different from other air purifiers is that they are effective cleaner the air from viruses.

The ozone in stratosphere is important for living things. The living things cannot expose themselves to UV which ozone protects.

Spectroscopes are used to determine the elements present in different substances. They do this by separating light into spectra, or different colors. Each element has a unique spectra, just like people each have a unique fingerprint. By looking at the light from a star, for example, a scientist can tell that it contains hydrogen, helium, and other elements. It was discovered that our sun contained helium by using a spectroscope during an eclipse- this was before we'd even discovered helium on earth! Spectroscopes can be used to tell the chemicals that are present in your blood. They can be used to determine if a molten metal is at the correct temperature for an industrial process, and can confirm the percentages of metals in an alloy.

No, it does not. UV is absorbed by almost all organic compounds and inorganic too on Earth (soil has a lot of if). The only exception is snow. Snow reflects UV, as result you can get sun burn even in Alaska in winter. But even if it get reflected, it will not penetrate through windows glass. Usual glass absorbs (all of it), that's why you cannot get tint even if you are looking at the sun through your window. Only quarts does not absorb UV, it's used in so called "sun bath It's when you in the room with quartz celling and walls getting your tint.

Ozone layer does not convert UV rays. It absorbs them.

The stratosphere layer holds ozone. It is tri atomic gas. It protects us from the UV rays of the sun.

Yes, it does. Ozone depletion can cause greenhouse effect and thus global warming.

A continuous spectrum is produced when white light passes through a prism or when hot gas is heated to incandescence. In either case the light is separated into its component colors based on their different wavelengths. All the colors of the visible spectrum from red to violet are present in the resulting continuous spectrum.

When white light passes through a prism the individual wavelengths of light are bent at different angles separating the light into a spectrum. This is known as dispersion. The prism separates the wavelengths of light into visible colors with the shortest wavelength being the color red and the longest wavelength being the color violet.

When hot gas is heated to incandescence the gas molecules become excited and emit light. The light produced is a continuous spectrum because all the wavelengths of visible light are present. The intensity of the emitted light varies with the wavelength with the shortest wavelength having the greatest intensity and the longest wavelength having the least intensity.

The ozone has both positive and negative effects. It protects us from UV rays but also acts as pollutant.

The ozone doesn't quite destroy its own molecules. Ultra-violet rays from the sun, that penetrate through the ozone break it's molecules apart. One molecule of ozone contains 3 atoms of oxygen. When the molecule splits, it releases heat. Then, one molecule of oxygen (2 atoms) and one atom of oxygen join together again, and become ozone (3 atoms of oxygen).

Ultraviolet light can cause damage to living organisms in the environment, such as sunburn in humans, skin cancer in animals, and reduced photosynthesis in plants. It can also break down certain chemicals in the atmosphere, leading to the formation of harmful pollutants like ozone. Protecting the environment from excessive ultraviolet light exposure is important for maintaining ecological balance.

Ozone layer blocks about 97% of the the total received by the earth. Ozone depletion will expose earth to harmful radiations and will burn the life. The temperature will increase and make earth inhabitable place.

The ozone layer is getting depleted because of the continues usage of CFCs. These are the chemicals which destroy ozone by reacting with and decomposing it into molecular oxygen and nascent oxygen.

An insulator prevents the flow of electricity by blocking the path for the current to travel through. This helps protect us from electrocution by keeping the electrical current from reaching our bodies. Insulators are typically made of materials that do not conduct electricity, such as rubber or plastic.

In the exosphere, the gases are ionized but the gases are so sparse, the light intensity is barely affected. In the thermosphere, most X-rays (and gamma rays from space) are absorbed, but the density is high enough that molecules can reform. Some small amount of ozone is created from oxygen here. In the stratosphere, gas density is high enough that by the bottom of the stratosphere, there is no significant UV-C left. The UV-C shatters any oxygen or nitrogen (even ozone) molecules it encounters... and some ozone is made. Any light that is absorbed by gases, that is not stored as more complex molecules, is released eventually as heat or stored as thermal energy.

The ozone hole can be repaired by curbing the use of CFCs. If there are no man made ozone destroying substances, the ozone layer will replenish itself.

The example of CFC is R-12. It is being used as a refrigerant.

The ozone layer restricts the harmful ultraviolet radiation of the sun from coming as these high energy radiations are used up for the formation of the ozone molecules thus they are not allowed to enter there.

This is essentially correct, the correct use of Thermocline is often misunderstood. the temperature of the water is nearly always cooler than the outside air, the temperature declines- thermo-heat- pluc Decline- hence thermocline, with increasing depth but the external pressure goes up, an important problem for submarine designers, divers, and the like. almost always the water temperature is lower than the surrounding air, as shore-types well know.

the depletion of the ozone layer is mainly caused by gasses called chlorofluorocarbons (CFC)

CFC are used in some refrigerator's, aerosol's conditioner's, styrofoam container's and fire extinguisher's.

There are many holes in the ozone layer, the largest is above the south pole.
