What are some results of ozone depletion?
Ozone, O3, is necessary to stop masses of ultraviolet radiation from the sun getting to the earth's atmosphere. Therefore, ozone depletion can lead to increased skin cancers and cataracts.
How did the evolution of photosynthetic organisms help protect life from the sun's untraviolet radiation?
Because of photosynthesis, the partial pressure of O2 in the atmosphere increased. When ultraviolet radiation hits O2, it produces O3, which is an effective blocker of ultraviolet radiation.
How is harming the ozone layer affecting the environment?
Allowing dangerous ultraviolet radiation which can cause cancers and cataracts in people and can damage food crops, especially rice.
What is the effect of UV radiation on living tissues and biological productivity?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can lead to increased mutation rates, skin cancer, sunburns and eye cataracts. Crop production will also decrease as UV light affects molecules related to photosynthesis. In addition, UV radiation can damage DNA. However, organisms have repair mechanisms so the damages may not be as worse as expected.
What electromagnetic radiation are used for n security pen?
Ultraviolet Radiation.
Who were suntiger sunglasses?

When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
What did the ozone layer that filters ultraviolet radiation originated from?
