Chlorofluorocarbons Cfcs Ozone Depleting
1,295 wordsThe ozone layer is one of the oldest things on the planet, older than any of the ancient creatures we see in our museums today. The ozone layer has provided protection for the living components under it for millions of years, and without the ozone layer, we most likely would not be here today. Our evolution would have been cut off millions of years ago without our planets ability to provide protection from the ever-harmful rays from our sun. Each year since the late 1970 s much of the protective...

Stratospheric Ozone Ozone Layer
2,496 wordsThe Atmospheric Ozone Layer The stratospheric ozone layer exists at altitudes between about 10 and 40 km depending on latitude, just above the tropopause. Its existence is crucial for life on earth as we know it, because the ozone layer controls the absorption of a portion of the deadly ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. UV-A rays, including wavelengths between 320 and 400 nm, are not affected by ozone. UV-C rays between 200 and 280 nm, are absorbed by the other atmospheric constituents besides...
