Since then the scientists have been regularly monitoring the thickness of the ozone layer. They have found that the thickness of the ozone layer has been decreasing day by day at the alarming rate as a result of the environmental pollution. The main culprits of the serious depletion of ozone layer are found to be the manmade chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s). These CFC (also

The upper layer of the atmosphere surrounded by ozone (15 to 30 Kms) is known as ozonosphere. Ozone layer is a protective stratospheric layer‚ also known as ozone umbrella. Ozone concentration differs by about 10 ppm in stratosphere compared to 0.05 ppm in troposphere. It acts as a protective shield for the man‚ animals and plants by filtering out the lethal ultraviolet rays from reaching the earth’s surface. If the ozone layer is not there‚ the harmful ultraviolet rays will reach to the

The intake of the products high in carbohydrates causes the insulin levels to spike. The high amount of insulin locks the fat which leads to the burning of the glucose instead of the fat. A person loses the most weight during the initial period of the low-carb diets. The reason for this is because the low levels of the insulin in the body causes the kidneys to shed an excessive amount of sodium. Moreover‚ the carbs in the bodies are stored in the form of glycogen. The glycogen binds water molecules

Five-Layer Density Column A density column consists of layers of liquids of different densities which do not mix with each other‚ and which are clearly distinguishable from each other. The highest density material is at the bottom of the column‚ and as you proceed up the column‚ the density of each successive layer decreases‚ with the lowest density layer on top. Three methods for construction of a five-layer density column are discussed in this write-up. All methods use the same five liquids. •

Every time 1% of the ozone layer is depleted‚ 2% more UV-B is able to reach the surface of the planet. So in short‚ without the ozone layer everything on earth will burn. The ozone layer is just as important to us as oxygen‚ without it the harmful UV radiation would give us server burns and destroy our delicate ecosystems. Even though there is hard evidence that proves that ozone depletion is harmful for organisms on earth‚ there are a few groups who think that the ozone layer is a “myth” aka doesn’t
