Answer:

According to the Wilson cycle, the plate motion takes place continuously as a result of which the divergent motion of the continental plates results in the formation of the rift valley and oceans. These continuous divergent motion of continental plates results in the convergent of continental plates at some other places, which give rise to the formation of the large mountain and mountain ranges.

These Mountain ranges are the large geological landforms that are constructed due to the convergent motion of two continental tectonic plates.

For example, the Appalachians were formed due to the collision of the North American and the North African plate, about 480 million years back, which are now separated by the Atlantic ocean

The mountain belt of Urals was formed due to the collision of the eastern European and Kazakhstan continent that occurred from the late Paleozoic time to the early Triassic age.

Where is the "ozone layer" located? How and why is stratospheric ozone beneficial for people, whereas tropospheric ozone is harm
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The ozone layer is usually referred to as a blanket that protects the earth from the harmful incoming solar radiation. It is located in the Stratosphere layer but also there is another ozone layer in the troposphere, commonly known as the troposphere ozone.

The stratospheric ozone is considered to be good ozone because it is located at a high altitude and it directly acts as a shield protecting the earth from the solar radiation, which can cause various types of skin diseases and also can increase the surface temperature of the earth.

On the other hand, the troposphere ozone is considered to be bad as it is located near to the ground surface and is mainly comprised of the greenhouse gases, that are harmful to the atmosphere and also increases the surface temperature of the earth.

CFC is one of the greenhouse gases that are harmful to the atmosphere because CFC molecules are continuously hit by the solar radiations that breaks the bond between the carbon and chlorine, resulting in the production of a single Chlorine atom, which eventually breaks down down the ozone layer by reacting with it. This is how the CFCs depletes the stratospheric ozone.

The depletion of the ozone layer leads to the global climatic changing, affecting all the biotic and abiotic components of the earth. This is a long term effect. This global warming is a threat to destroy the earth, so preventive measures must be taken in order to reduce the causes and use of those substances that can lead to catastrophic changes.
