Depletion of the ozone layer can increase the reaching of which radiation to Earth surface?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Ultraviolet radiation
The governing atmospheric concept is ozone absorption of harmful ultraviolet radiation. Stratospheric ozone absorbs a substantial part of incoming ultraviolet energy, especially the more biologically damaging wavelengths. When the ozone layer is depleted, its filtering capacity decreases, so more ultraviolet radiation can reach Earth’s surface and increase risks such as skin and eye damage. The change is not specifically an increase in sound, radio, or infrared radiation only.
