What is the importance of ozone layer?
  • 1 answers

Gaurav Seth 3 years, 9 months ago

  • Ozone is a molecule of oxygen with three atoms of oxygen, O3.
  • It covers the Earth’s atmosphere and is present in the stratosphere. It does not allow the harmful ultra-violet radiations coming from the sun to reach our Earth surface.
  • These ultra-violet radiations cause ionising effect, can cause cancer and genetic disorder in any life-forms.
  • The ozone is getting depleted at the south pole near Antartica. The ozone depletion is due to the halogens like CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) released in the air.
  • Chlorine and fluorine reacts with the ozone and splits it, thereby leading to formation of a big hole called ozone hole.
  • Thus, we need to protect the ozone layer from getting depleted by reducing the consumption of fossil-fuels and other factors which leads to the depletion of ozone layer.
