Ozone Layer It acts as a sun block and filters out the dangerous ultra-violet rays from the sun ("The Chemistry of the Ozone Layer"). The Earth ’s atmosphere is broken up into two layers that have to do with ozone ("Ozone Layer"). The troposphere is the lowest layer ("Ozone Layer"). It extends from Earth ’s surface up to about ten kilometers in altitude ("Ozone Layer"). All most all human activities happen in this layer ("Ozone Layer"). The next layer is the stratosphere ("Ozone Layer"). It

Difference between OSI model and TCP/IP model The Internet Protocol Suite also known as TCP/IP is the set of communications protocols used for the Internet and other similar networks. It is named from two of the most important protocols in it: the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP)‚ which were the first two networking protocols defined in this standard. IP networking represents a synthesis of several developments that began to evolve in the 1960s and 1970s‚ namely

The good news about the ozone layer is not always frequent. On International Ozone Day‚ the report came in that the ozone levels have decreased above Montreal and other residents of southern Canada. The ozone layer shields the earth from most of the harmful radiation and light coming from the sun. The ozone reflects

Name the three layers of the skin and give a brief description of each layer. Epidermis- the outermost layer which depending on the body location has several layers. The stratum coreum which is thinnest outermost layer consisting of dead keratinized cells protect underlying cells and tissue from dehydration and stop entry of certain chemicals agents. The stratum basale

OZONE LAYER The Earth ’s ozone layer protects all life from the sun ’s harmful radiation‚ but human activities have damaged this shield. Less protection from ultraviolet light will‚ over time‚ lead to higher skin cancer and cataract rates and crop damage. The ozone layer is one layer of the stratosphere‚ the second layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. The stratosphere is the mass of protective gases clinging to our planet. Ozone is only a trace gas in the atmosphere only about 3 molecules for every

Skin Layers 1. Epidermis The epidermis is the outer most layer of skin. It is built up of 5 layers (from the outside in) - stratum corneum is made of dead flat skin cells - stratum licidum - stratum granulosum - stratum spinosum - stratum basale Where cells divide and push previously formed cells into the upper layers. As the cells travel into the higher layers‚ they flatten and die‚ eventually. Specialized Epidermal Cells - melanocyte - produces pigment (melanin) - Langerhans’

Layers of the Atmosphere The envelope of gas surrounding the Earth changes from the ground up. Five distinct layers have been identified using... • thermal characteristics (temperature changes)‚ • chemical composition‚ • movement‚ and • density. Each of the layers are bounded by "pauses" where the greatest changes in thermal characteristics‚ chemical composition‚ movement‚ and density occur. Troposphere The troposphere begins at the Earth’s surface and extends from 4 to 12 miles (6 to 20
