Why is a decrease in Earth’s ozone harmful to life?

Physics
1 answer:
zavuch27 [327]3 years ago
8 0

Most ozone resides in the stratosphere (a layer of the atmosphere between 10 and 40 km above us), where it acts as a shield to protect Earth's surface from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. With a weakening of this shield, we would be more susceptible to skin cancer, cataracts and impaired immune systems.

what causes places near the equator to receive more direct sunlight than the poles? the poles are farther away from the sun than
Andru [333]
This is due to the tilt of the earth on its axis. Although the Sun shines on Earth, because of how the Earth is tilted, the equator is more directly hit compared to places found on the poles. The poles are hit at an angle, therefore the sunlight they receive is lesser than the places at the equator.
