thin layer of gas called atmosphere surrounds the Earth. The atmosphere serves two important purposes: it is a filter for the suns dangerous ultraviolet radiation rays and keeps the heat‚ necessary to maintain life on earth‚ within the stratosphere (Vorlat 361). Ultraviolet light is incredibly dangerous to all the organisms within the Earth ’s ecosystem because it causes skin cancer‚ effects the immune system‚ and harms plant and animal life. For that reason the atmosphere and the ozone layer within

Ozone Danielle Farrar March 16‚ 1997 Triatomic oxygen‚ O3‚ is most commonly known as ozone. It has a resonance structure‚ and can be drawn in two different ways: O=O- O-O=O It is a bluish‚ explosive gas at room temperature‚ and has a boiling point of -119°C. It has a melting point of -193°C‚ and is a blue liquid. It ’s critical temperature and pressure are -12.1°C and 53.8 atm‚ respectively. It has a pleasant odor in concentrations of less than 2 ppm‚ and is irritating and injurious

The Importance of the Ozone "Like an infection that grows more and more virulent‚ the continent-size hole in Earth ’s ozone layer keeps getting bigger and bigger"(Beyond Discovery). The ozone is a protective layer that occurs naturally in the stratosphere‚ 6 to 28 miles in altitude. Each year‚ since the late 1970 ’s‚ much of the ozone layer above Antarctica has disappeared‚ creating what is popularly known as the "ozone hole." This hole now measures about 9 million square miles‚ nearly the

Ozone Depletion Good morning to our lecturer and my fellow friends. Today I want to deliver a speech on title “Ozone Depletion”. Did you know that about 20 kilometres from the earth’s surface there is a thin layer of gas forming just a small fraction of the earth’s atmosphere‚ without which harmful radiation from the sun would destroy all life on this planet? This is the ozone layer‚ which filters out harmful ultraviolet-B rays. Today‚ because of our negligence‚ the ozone layer is depleting.

The ozone depletion The ozone depletion‚ or ozone hole is a big problem which affects the environment and also all the people on earth. But what is it? Does this problem have a solution? And what are governments doing to reach this solution? The ozone layer is a belt of naturally occurring ozone gas that sits 15 to 30 kilometers above Earth and serves as a shield from the ultraviolet B radiation emitted by the sun which are very dangerous. Now‚ the problem is that the release of pollution

IMPACTS OF OZONE Introduction Ozone is a gas that occurs naturally in our atmosphere. Most of it is concentrated in the ozone layer[->0]‚ a region located in the stratosphere several miles above the surface of the Earth. Although ozone represents only a small fraction of the gas present in the atmosphere‚ it plays a vital role by shielding humans and other life from harmful ultraviolet light from the Sun. Human activities in the last several decades have produced chemicals‚ such as chlorofluorocarbons

Ozone Depletion and Indoor Air Pollution Nainsi McKinney 5/14/13 Ozone depletion is a very serious issue that is almost fully the fault of humans and the ozone is going to continue to thin if changes are not made. Chemicals that are used in everyday life are primarily responsible for the ozone loss; compounds called chlorofluorocarbons such as Freon and Styrofoam when used as a foam blowing agent for insulation (WileyPlus‚Chap.9.

The essay will describe causes of inflation and deflation and explain how they can affect the corporate sector. 1.

This position of Japan made its economy like an example how economy should not look like. Other countries were afraid of the fact they may one day become in the position like this. After analyzing the economic situation of the United States‚ many economists remain confident that the US will not have destiny like Japan. They claimed that the US will avoid deflation thanks to
