Why is the effect of ozone depletion not considered limited only to the stratosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because increased ultraviolet radiation can affect organisms at the surface
Stratospheric ozone absorbs much of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation. When ozone is depleted, more ultraviolet radiation can pass through the atmosphere and reach Earth’s surface, increasing risks to humans, plants, animals, and aquatic organisms. Therefore option A is correct. Ozone depletion does not normally change Earth’s rotation, destroy all mountains, or freeze the oceans.
