Answer 2

Answer:

D. Tides are not the consequence of ozone layer depletion.

Explanation:

• Tides are caused by gravitational pull from the moon and not by depletion of ozone layer.

• The quantity of UVB that reaches the Earth's surface rises as ozone layer thickness decreases.
• UVB induces non-melanoma skin cancer and is a significant factor in the growth of malignant melanoma. Additionally, cataracts, a clouding of the eye's lens, have been connected to UVB exposure.

• When UV-B radiation interacts with specific biomolecules that absorb in the UV range, it can directly or indirectly harm cellular DNA and a number of physiological and biochemical processes in cyanobacterial cells.
