  1. Ozone layer protects us from unwanted rays which can harm our skin, change the climate...


  2. Ozone is a molecule of Oxygen with 3 atoms. Ozone layer that exists at the upper reaches of atmosphere affects the world by absorbing the dangerous UV radiation from the sun. Thus it renders safe, the radiation reaching the ground. If not stopped, UV (Ultra Violet, which are shorter than 0.35 micron=3.5 X 10^-5m) will cause skin cancer even. It may cause mutations in organisms leading to weird mutants.

  3. The ozone layer is a layer in Earth's atmosphere which contains relatively high concentrations of ozone (O3). This layer absorbs 97-99% of the sun's high frequency ultraviolet light, which is potentially damaging to life on earth.[1] Over 90% of ozone in earth's atmosphere is present here.[1] "Relatively high" means a few parts per million—much higher than the concentrations in the lower atmosphere but still small compared to the main components of the atmosphere. It is mainly located in the lower portion of the stratosphere from approximately 15 km to 35 km above Earth's surface, though the thickness varies seasonally and geographically.[2] The ozone layer was discovered in 1913 by the French physicists Charles Fabry and Henri Buisson. Its properties were explored in detail by the British meteorologist G. M. B. Dobson, who developed a simple spectrophotometer that could be used to measure stratospheric ozone from the ground. Between 1928 and 1958 Dobson established a worldwide network of ozone monitoring stations which continues to operate today. The "Dobson unit", a convenient measure of the total amount of ozone in a column overhead, is named in his honor.

  4. The Ozone layer doesn't harm the world, for it is the only thing stopping humans turn into radiactive mutants or something because of the sun's UV or other types of radiation.

  5. Problems with the ozone layer and problems with global warming are two separate environmental issues. Ozone levels have little impact on changes in climate, however, the effort to protect the Ozone layer from human activities has proven quite successful and prove that people can identify problem activities and force reforms to reverse damage to the environment.

    Earth's Ozone layer makes life on the surface possible. Aquatic plants and algae eventually pumped enough oxygen into the atmosphere to allow ozone formation , which began absorbing very damaging UV radiation in the upper atmosphere. Life no longer had to rely on water's natural UV filtering,  and began to exploit new terrestrial opportunities.

  6. common you never heard of GLOBAL WARMING
