Why does depletion of the ozone layer increase danger to life?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because more ultraviolet radiation can reach the surface
Stratospheric ozone absorbs a significant amount of biologically harmful ultraviolet radiation, especially UV-B. When ozone is depleted, more of this radiation can reach Earth’s surface, increasing risks such as skin damage, eye harm, and effects on plants and ecosystems. Gravity does not disappear, weather does not stop, and river flow is not the direct reason. Thus, option A is correct.
