The upper stratosphere consists of considerable amount of X. X protects us from the harmful ultraviolet radiations coming from the sun. These radiations cause skin cancer (melanoma) in humans. X is :

Ozone layer protect us from the harmful effects of..........radiations.

Assertion (A) : Ozone is destroyed by solar radiation in upper streatosphere. Reason (R) : Thinning of the ozone layer allows excessive UV radiations to reach the surface of earth.

Practically ozone layer absorbs the radiation of wavelength

Fill in the blanks : Ozone layer prevents the harmful……………… radiation of the sun to reach the earth.

The protective ozone layer of stratosphere itself requires protection from indiscriminate use of :

Stratosphere contains a stable layer of ozone molecules which absorbs UV radiation from the sun. The presence of ozone in atmosphere serves, as a shield to protect living organism on earth from the harmful effects of the solar ultraviolet radiation. The ultraviolet radiation are known to cause skin cancer. Ozone is formed in stratosphere by the following photochemical reactions. O_(2)(g)overset(UV)rarrO(g)+O(g) O(g)+O_(2)(g)overset(UV)hArrO_(3)(g) Ozone is thormodhynamically unstable and ecomposes to molecular oxygen. Thus a dynamic equilibrium exits between the production and decomposition of ozone molecules. Earth is protected from UV radiation by
