The Ozone Layer and how it effects Earth
... radiation. A severe decrease in the concentration of ozone in the ozone layer could lead to the effects of an increase in the incidence of skin cancer (UV radiation can destroy acids in DNA), a large increase in cataracts and sun burning, suppression of immune systems in organism, adverse impact ...
global warming
... greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the more the heat gets trapped, the more the temperature rises. This phenomenon of increase in the average temperature of the Earth'snear-surface air and oceans is called GLOBAL WARMING.So, what if the temperature rises? Due to global warming ...
