Describe how ozone layer is formed? What are the measures to protect ozone depletion?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
How is ozone layer form ?
Ozone is produced naturally in the stratosphere when highly energetic solar radiation strikes molecules of oxygen, O2, and cause the two oxygen atoms to split apart in a process called photolysis. If a freed atom collides with another O2, it joins up, forming ozone O3.
How can we protect the ozone layer?
1. Avoid the consumption of gases dangerous to the ozone layer, due to their content or manufacturing process. ...
2. Minimize the use of cars. ...
3. Do not use cleaning products that are harmful to the environment and to us. ...
4. Buy local products.
Answer: ozone at the higher levels of atmosphere is product of UV radiation acting on Oxygen molecule the higher energy UV radiation split apart some molecular oxygen into free oxygen atoms these following atoms combine with the molecular oxygen to form ozone as shown below,
O2 --> O + O in the presence of UV
O + O2 --> O3
Ozone layer is formed.
ozone layer protect us from the harmful radiation of the Sun.
to protect the depletion of ozone layer we should control used on aerosols, CFC ,ACs and refrigerators.
I hope my answer will help you.
